Queried 06/29/2026. Nudged at the ~60 day mark. No response as of yet. To be fair, I got really lucky on my timing - I got an 'I'm out of office' auto response both times.

UPDATE: Got a rejection two days after posting this. Maybe the timing was coincidental, or maybe she checks these notes and decided to go back to my query because I posted this. Hard to say. But mine was the only one from my query time that she responded to, so...

I was one who originally queried via email a short time before Amanda started using QT. I decided to re-query on QT on 5/11/26. She began answering my time frame (early to mid-May), and got about 75% of them done. Mine was still unanswered, so I began to get hopeful that I was in the maybe pile.

Then she moved on to later queries and has not returned to the earlier ones.

On 9/3/26 at 115 days, I nudged, mentioning I have a second novel I'm querying. I asked if she would like more time with my first query. (I didn't find anything on her website mentioning no-answer-means-no.)

As of 10/7/26 there's been no reply, and she hasn't returned to the queries from my time frame. Hoping I'm still in the maybe pile, but I'm letting it slide into the CNR list tomorrow at 150 days, simply for my own piece of mind.

Rejected an hour or less after submission. I appreciate the quick turnaround, although it being that quick left me feeling like she didn't read it, just clearing her inbox.
