Survived a maybe pile, but form rejection 10/22

Thank you for your query. Unfortunately, __________ is not quite right for me at this time, so I will have to pass.

I know this is probably not what you were hoping to hear, but I wish you the best of luck finding the right agent for your project. I'm rooting for you!

I'm assuming she isn't going through he maybe pile any longer? QT has officially closed my query out due to it being over 121 days. Does anyone know if she is still going through maybes? I see her requesting people's queries on Threads, but it doesn't seem like she is paying much attention to her maybe pile anymore?


Okay, just saw this update from Tali on Threads:

I had a writer DM me asking if I’m still reviewing queries in my query inbox - and the answer is yes! If you currently have an open query with me, you are in my maybe pile.
I aim to review at least 10-20 queries per day, which feels manageable given how much time I’m devoting to editing and pitching my clients’ work.
I am also preparing for major surgery on Friday, so it’s been a mad rush, but I promise everyone will hear back, and I thank you for your patience.
