Per her website, she has more genres than currently listed on QT:
For picture books, Ellen is only taking on new clients who are author-illustrators, and gravitates toward projects that highlight the sparse and simple.
She is interested in all genres and formats of MG and YA, especially anything spooky, graphic novels, novels-in-verse, and projects that allow her to travel vicariously through place and time.
In adult, she represents fantasy and romance and their intersection.
Ellen might be convinced on a nonfiction project if it involves food.

Nicest rejection I've had in the whole querying journey!
"Thank you so much for your query and for thinking of me, and thank you for the nudge. While your writing voice is engaging, your project isn't quite what I'm looking to add to my list at the moment. I encourage you to keep querying so you can find exactly the right agent who can champion your career. "
