After reading the comments, I decided to submit the query again (minutes after the e-mail) on the online form and write a note as to why I was doing so in case they realized it was a dupe! I previously submitted a query to another agent at Trident via the online form, and I received a response within the hour! (I know it's the holiday weekend, so I don't expect a response like that for this case, but based on everyone's comments and my past experiences, it may be best to submit via the online form rather than her e-mail...?)

Alyssa's entry on the Trident website says to send it to her at an email address, which is what I did. As others have noted, the website also says to use the online submission form. I sent my query 65 days ago...(QT says an average of 38 days for a positive response from her and 21 for a pass.) The Trident website says you can query another agent after 30 days if you haven't heard back. I'm confused about what to do! May go ahead and submit on the form. I met Alyssa several years ago--and she requested the full of a YA novel. I was so impressed with her.

After sending Ms. Henkin an email query weeks ago based on what I'd read here and several other places online, I went back to Trident's website which states you must query via their online form or the agent won't respond. They don't want any sample pages either until they read your query and synopsis. I don't remember the website saying this but maybe I wasn't focusing! Anyway, I resubmitted using their online form

I hesitate to send anything to Trident after my experience with no response to a Full Request from another agent couple years back. (3 nudges went along with that) Appears it's an agency thing. It just makes me sad this happens to writers.

@KristenH - full request - sorry, should have specified!

@MochieB - It does seem like an unusually long wait, but it looks like she usually replies. So far, those after us haven't heard anything either, so hopefully she's just really busy! I hope you get some good news soon!

Billybuttercup - I don’t have her assistant’s email address, so I just replied to her. And then I sent a follow up using the same chain, but ...nothing! I wonder if we consider it a no or if she will eventually reply?
Seems like an unusually long wait, which makes me wonder if it’s just a no.

Good luck !!! I hope we both hear good news in the coming year

@MochieB - Not a peep. No reply to my nudge Dec 5 to her assistant - just sent a revised MS to both Alyssa and her assistant (Dec 29). Sounds like you're ahead of me in the queue...hopefully you get an answer soon!!

Billy buttercup, have you heard back yet? I’m also waiting on requested materials from May.
