                As per the auto-response on her email, Miriam is currently on leave until 2nd September, with only sporadic access to emails.

                Where are her socials? Here's her PM https://www.publishersmarketplace.com/members/dglm/
But no MSWL or AALA. Her Twitter hasn't been posted on since 2017, and no bsky that I can find. Idk about everyone else, but I deep dive into all my potential agents before querying. If there's little to no online presence, it's difficult, and makes me look foolish if I don't query you with enough info... Would query anyway, but I don't want to waste your time.

                If she hasn't responded in a reasonable amount of time, I suppose you could withdraw the query and try someone else.
            
Queried her on 3/29/25, then followed up on 5/27/25. On 6/24/25, I received this:
Thanks so much for letting us take a look at your materials, and please forgive me for responding with a form letter. The volume of submissions we receive, however, makes it impossible to correspond with everyone personally.
Unfortunately, the project you describe does not suit our list at this time. We wish you the best of luck in finding an agent and publisher for your work, and we thank you, once again, for letting us consider your materials.

Does this contradict their website saying I can query another agent? Dunno.

                It seems that she hasn't been responding to queries recently. According to the agency's website, they advise only reaching out to another agent from the same agency if the first one has explicitly rejected the submission. Given this, should I just go ahead and query another agent from the agency?
