@JackReacher, unfortunately it can take time to update a website, but an agent can update their QueryManager simply and instantly.

Her website clearly states that she's not taking on picture books or non-fiction projects at the moment.
I wish these agents would update their websites along with their query forms so they're in sync. If they can't be bothered, why should I consider them for representation? I won't.

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.
1) Not sure what her auto response is saying these days, but when I queried on 10/30 it said her typical response time was 4-6 weeks. I nudged her on February 7 to ask if she was still considering my query. No response.
The Bookends YouTube channel frequently encourages authors to do their due diligence with communication, but to not let an agent’s lack of response prevent them from moving on, so I went ahead and queried the next Bookends agent on my list.
Anyway, I just got a form rejection from her today — 2 months after signing with another agent, and 8 months after sending my query.
Just a point to not take those estimates of when an agent will get back to you too seriously. I’m really glad I moved on and gave myself a chance to query the other agents at the agency (who got back to me in a much more timely fashion).
2) Don’t read too much into the “although I was captivated by your story’s premise” language — I was flattered at first but from what I can see from other comments here, this is just part of her form rejection.
