2/20/23 - Actually ended up nudging again this past November (around 1 year after the request) and she responded again saying she still planned to read and would catch up on fulls by the new year. Now it's late Feb and she's requesting new stuff, so I am going to go ahead and CNR this.

Form rejection 7 days after submission. Many people seem to find the link she sends very off-putting, but I think it's sweet. I believe her heart is in the right place and she wants it to be a way to resource a writer and not make them feel inadequate.

After six days, second rejection. First one was two years ago and a form rejection. This time it was personalized and my revised book was thought to be "too academic," which no one has ever said before about this book. In a weird way it almost feels like a compliment--at least someone sees I did my research.

Form rejection with a link to an article about the proper way to select the right agent. It was off-putting, to be honest.

Kind rejection 2/2/23, stating she has a very full YA Fantasy list and she is extremely selective.
Still, was nice to finally get something that wasn't a form reject.

Reject because she doesn't rep adult romance. I was confused because QT says she does

Slightly personalized form saying my book was good but a little too "epic" for her taste. Probably not a good fit for second world (YA) fantasy in general since my book isn't really epic at all. Also got the note saying her YA fantasy list is pretty full at present.

Is this actually a literary agency? Their PM page talks first off about film and television.

I'll second the mention that she's open to queries.
I've been struggling to figure out what this agent's expected response time is. Their website is as good as nonexistent. Anybody know anything? TIA.
