Her submission form is crap. Doesn't adequately work and has a piss-poor user interface; and her website hasn't been updated in a couple of years. She does seem to represent some good books.

Really positive experience.
LGBTQ Memoir, 75k words.
Queried via form 7/12/22.
Partial request 7/13/22.
She read it last night and sent me the kindest and most personalized rejection I’ve yet received. Loved the writing and story but was concerned about the market for memoir, ultimately just a business decision.
