I came across this from Susan's blog: https://susanvcolmant.com/2026/07/20/closed-to-queries-for-2026/
"I have gotten several questions about when I’ll be opening to queries since I typically start opening on June 1 and remain open through the end of the summer.
"Unfortunately, I will not be opening this year because I have some exciting personal news: I’m having a baby girl, due in December!"
Congratulations to Susan and her husband! Looks like she has enough going on that she won't be open for a while. So if you're wanting to query her, you may be waiting for a while.
