Does anyone know if Fox Literary is still actively operating and accepting queries? Their website (foxliterary.com) currently appears to be down/inaccessible, and I haven't been able to find any recent announcement explaining why.
I can see recent query activity for Diana Fox and Isabel Kaufman on QueryTracker, so I'm wondering whether the agency is still active and whether there is a current submission method or website that I'm missing.
Any recent information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Polite form rejection after 153 days. Adult upmarket, 85K.
"Thank you so much for your query. Unfortunately, however, this project doesn’t sound right for me. I encourage you to continue to submit elsewhere, and I wish you every success in your writing career. Thanks again for thinking of me."

Disclaimer
Always verify agent's information before sending your query, and review the agent's website(s) for more up-to-date information.
Though we do our best, QueryTracker can not guarantee the accuracy of any information provided.
An agent listing on QueryTracker is not an endorsement or recommendation of that agent by QueryTracker.
Before contacting an agent, authors should verify and assess the agent's requirements and suitability by visiting the agent's website(s), and becoming familiar with ways to spot and avoid bad agents. A good place to start is Writers Beware, a watch group that helps inform and protect authors from shady practices.
Email a query letter and the first 5 pages of your manuscript IN THE BODY OF THE EMAIL to submissions@foxliterary.com. Please include the name of the agent to whom the submission is directed in the salutation of your email.
You may query both Diana and Isabel simultaneously, but you must send separate queries to each rather than a single query addressed to both of us. With all submissions, we may jointly review and determine which agent we think will be the best fit for a project.
We make every effort to reply to all email queries, but no longer accept hard copy submissions. Please do not send unsolicited email attachments, as we will be unable to open or respond to messages containing them.
Note: Fox Literary does not represent screenplays, category Westerns, Christian/inspirational, or children's picture books.
It appears they are both open for queries. I’m not sure why you can’t access the website on your end but nothing appears to be out of place and they both accept queries by email only.
