Today (June 7, 2022) I clicked on the link seen on Denise Barone's agent profile page in QT for website: baroneliteraryagency.com. Doing so took me to an odd-looking page that was pretty clearly not the one I wanted. A google search, by contrast, suggested as its top hit a link to a different URL: it appears on the google search results page as "www.denisegwen.com > BaroneLiteraryAgency" and is the right place. FYI.

wondering if she's incredibly backlogged. I submitted early/mid September of last year and haven't heard anything.
I CNR'd in may of last year but I submitted in September of 2018 and it is now december 2020 and I didn't even get the one word rejection that others have gotten

Same here! With what JTrevorRobinson said, she just sent an e-mail saying "Pass." If you're bothering to reply, you can write one sentence why. The other rejections I've gotten have been very professional stating: thank you for submitting your work, unfortunately it doesn't fit with us, etc. She seems very unprofessional. Don't be discouraged by this! And I don't know if it's because of this, but when you paste your manuscript pages in the online form, it completely screws up the formatting. So I had to literally edit in a Word document very meticulously to get it to paste right for other agents. I wouldn't bother submitting to her. There are plenty of other more professional agents out there who will at least send you a proper response, if they decide to respond. Even though we all want to be published, you don't want it to be with a bad agent. I was with a bad publisher before, because I didn't seek out an agent. Trust me. You want the best agent out there who's professional and going to look out for you and give you the best representation.

Not even a form letter for rejection; just the single word "Pass".

ER 4/11/19 (Passed with personalized feedback--likes story and has potential, but she felt it was a bit too telly. She did encourage me to resubmit if I wish. I might do it later this summer.)
Congrats Lucy!

She may be incredibly backlogged. I sent a query 4/2 and got a response 7/31 asking if I was still seeking representation. When I said yes, she asked for a full.

YA paranormal. Her responses -- even when interested in something -- are one line so don't read too much into the "thanks I'll pass" form Rs others posted.
