4/25/23: Email query (when Whitney was at Irene Goodman Literary)
6/2/23: Full request
6/28/23: Pass/sort of R&R, she gave some feedback and mentioned she'd be open to seeing a revised version of the manuscript
9/12/23: After revising based on Whitney's feedback and that of another agent, I requeried on QM, mentioning our previous correspondence about the manuscript
11/14/23: Followed up checking if she's still interested in the manuscript, and mentioning interest from Big 5 editors
No response yet, I hope she's still interested, but it doesn't seem like she's looked at any queries in a few months.

I only hesitate to CNR because I can see on the timeline she hasn't responded to really any since those submitted on 7/23 and prior.
She hasn't replied at all in almost 2 months. I wouldn't recommended querying her right now.
