I noticed on the KT Website, Tara Gilbert's salutation is noted as Mx, not Ms

Just FYI, Tara uses the preferred salutation "Mx."

I wouldn't worry about it, damico. She probably just forgot to change the outgoing message.

The reply to my query today said, "Received by Tara Gilbert at Jennifer De Chiara Literary Agency" She is now at KT Literary.

Form, but a really nice one:
Thank you so much for sending me [title]; I’m honored you chose to query me. After reviewing your materials I don’t feel that it’s the right fit for my list at this time, so unfortunately, I'll have to pass.
I know querying is a difficult process and applaud you for following your dream. I strongly encourage you to continue your pursuit of publication, and in finding your perfect agent.
Thank you for considering me, and I wish you great success with your writing career.

An agent at this agency dropped ten authors on one day, and the agency as a whole acted extremely unprofessional. If you want to query anyone at this agency, please check out this thread.

Queried on 12/10/21—as of 1/15/22, still no response, but her Twitter did claim that she just closed to queries to catch up, so maybe I'll hear something soon.

@roswordsman I’m not sure if this helps, but she mentioned on Twitter that she’s closing to queries right away because she needs to catch up on her inbox. It wouldn’t hurt to politely nudge! Best of luck!
