update: received the go-ahead to requery
-------------------------
I queried the agency as a whole back when there were only 3 of them and before they had their individual QM portals (I believe it said something like "don't know who would be a good fit? email us at ___"
it was a CNR.
I'm wondering, since now they have their individual manuscript wishlists and QM portals, if I should try querying this agency again but a specific agent this time?

"Thank you for sharing your portfolio with me. I appreciate the opportunity to consider your work, but I won't be pursuing representation at this time. I welcome you to query again should your visual style evolve in new ways or should you have a book dummy to share, rather than samples/portfolio alone."
