Was about to send in a query and I am located in the US - found this on their website.Sharing in hopes it is of help to others:
"...We are interested in international fiction, but US authors may be better served with an agent in the US in the first instance unless there is a compelling reason to have a UK agent."

Submitted fantasy/crime June 2020. Never heard back. Agency connected with terf tweets - I didn't realise this until after I had submitted. Since both I and MC are enby, I didn't expect to hear back.

Don't panic if you're seeing lots of "requests for fulls" after your submission to this agent: it doesnt mean the agent has shown interest in someone who submitted after you, it's because she asks you to submit your full straight away - so technically we should all be changing our status for this agent to "full"
