Decided to close this one out as it's been 97 days. Sad, I really love the clients she represents and think she's an awesome agent.

Her MSWL says she accepts graphic novel submissions, but it’s unclear whether she will accept submissions that are script-only. Many agents aren’t specific about this in their guidelines, and it’s frustrating! I sent an email inquiring on 6/10.
6/14 reply: "I do accept graphic novel submissions that are text only. Feel free to omit the art and submit the text sample as you would a PB or novel."

Thanks so much for the chance to consider your work and sorry for my long delay in responding. You may have already found a great home for this by now. Unfortunately, I’m not the right agent advocate currently. I wish you success with the project.
