Submitted 120k Adult Fantasy on 9/9/24. No response yet-but I don't believe I'm on a maybe pile, as there are several other unanswered queries surrounding mine on the timeline.
On 10/28, their agency website says, "Do resend your query email if you haven’t heard from us in 8 weeks, noting the date previously sent. Our goal is to read and respond to every query in that time frame." Not quite 8 weeks yet for me, but getting there.
