FYI-- I sent my query to the Kaplan agency email address and did not receive an auto response. She emailed me from her gmail account. Hope that helps.
Did those of you who submitted use the kaplan address or the one listed here?

UPDATE: Very kind personalized rejection---she said she admired the writing but hadn't had much luck selling a manuscript with a similar premise. Ah, well. Onward and upward! :-)

Submitted a query and pages in response to her request from a first-line contest. I was pleasantly surprised she liked it---and to be honest, based on what I've read about her tastes, I think my novel is a bit out there for her. But she asked to see more, so I figured it couldn't hurt to go ahead and submit. :-)
Thank you for your query. I'm sorry to say it isn't quite right for my current list.
I sincerely appreciate the chance to review your work, and wish you all the best in finding the perfect home for it.
Warmly,
