I'm wondering the same mnorthy297.
I wonder if she just answers sporadically ?
I've decided to CNR

Hmm seems like people who queried after me are getting replies but I have not received one yet…should I close it as an assumed rejection or am I in a maybe pile?

Sent a nudge on Friday (13th May) to let Catherine know that I'd received a full request elsewhere, and she responded on the Monday with some positive feedback and a full request. Sending the nudge was a bit of a stab in the dark (the marjacq website doesn't explicitly advise doing this), so it was a nice surprise & shows there's never any harm in nudges!

Sent a nudge to Catherine on June 24th to let her know that I've received an offer of rep elsewhere. Catherine got back to me on the 1st of July to say she thought my MS was really strong, but due to a change of role within the agency, she's not in a position to take it forward.

Full request (so quick!!!): 05/13/22
Nudged with offer: 05/24/22
Reply: She will read by my deadline.
Nudged again since the deadline is tomorrow: 06/06/22
Reply: She forwarded my full to Diana Beaumont who will hopefully respond by the deadline.
CNR, accepted other offer: 06/08/22
Reply: Her colleague reps something very similar, so she congratulated me on my offer and stepped aside.

Nice rejection. 30/10/2017
Dear Mandy,
Thank you for your patience and sorry for the time it's taken me to come back to you.
I really enjoyed reading WALKING UP HILLS BACKWARDS. I think you write very well and your characters are great.
There problem is, the story, feels overly familiar, very John Green The Fault in our Stars which I am afraid will prevent it being picked up by editors who are looking for fresh, new, imaginative stories which will really stand out in the crowd.
Should you bring your writing talents together with a really great YA story, I think you would have something that editors would pay attention to.
I wish you all the very best with your writing.
Yours,
Catherine
