Her closed-to-queries message says everyone who submitted before would get a reply, and I see others who queried after me who received replies. Hmmm.
Got my ER! :) 7/3/18
contemporary middle grade 65K
ER: July 3
Same as kccurry26 said below - a form letter bcc'd to me in a bulk rejection.
As of 7/3 I have still not received a response, so I am a bit worried that she never received it. I just sent a follow up email in hopes that she will reply, but I hope she doesn't delete it thinking it's a query sent after March 31st, because I sent it in early February and really wanted to query this agent.
ER: 5.25.18

Okay, thanks! I always hate to nudge, but it has been over six months. Good luck to you, too!
I subbed last year with a "code word" from a conference she was at and heard back within 2 months. This year, I subbed something in January (no code word) and have yet to hear back. Not sure if that helps. If it's been 6 months or longer, it might be time for you to send a status check. Good luck!
(Thanks sarahh)
As of March 31st, 2018, Kate is closed to new queries. All queries received before that date will receive a response. All queries received after that date will be deleted unread. She will reopen in the Fall.
