Queried twice over last couple of years, two different projects. Rejection provided with some needlessly personal and upsetting criticism which put me off writing for months. Do not query.

Submissions page does not clearly state geographic limits. QueryManager specifies “No US submissions” and states they represent authors living in Australasia/South Pacific or originally from there. Not open to authors outside that region.
