She posted a substack about transitioning to being an editor at Macmillan.
She wrote "So the short answer to whether I’ll continue agenting is yes, for a while, but it’s going to phase out in a few months. And as for what will happen to clients, that depends - but I’ll be there to help."
She's basically tying up loose ends for current clients and leaving.

For those (like me) wondering what happened, her Bluesky account says as of July 7, she will start a position as a Commissioning Editor at Macmillan Children’s Books UK, and will be moving back to London.
