She's apparently doing what many agents have started to do: Open for queries the first week of each month, then close to queries until the next month. Makes sense as a way to control one's inbox.

** Adding to this after querying Bridget with a new project. I mentioned in this latest query (which was a few months ago now) that she'd previously requested a full from me. I didn't want to dwell on the past and hoped that since she was open again, maybe she'd gotten caught up on things and this time it would be different. And I was right — this time she didn't reply at all, despite my mention of a previous full. I think that's enough of me trying with this agent.

I queried Bridget in March 2019. In January 2020, Bridget apologised for the delay in replying, and requested the full, sounding interested. At the end of January she said she'd received it and hoped to reply within 3 months.

I never had a reply.

I nudged in July 2020, acknowledging the pandemic but just checking in. All I got was her auto-reply aimed at queriers.

In September 2020, she replied saying she "was still considering it" and another apology.

I nudged in March 2021, and got her auto-reply for queriers again.

I checked in via Twitter to ask if it was still the correct email address to check in on submissions, since it seemed to have a perma-auto-reply set to tell queriers she wasn't open. She replied that yes, it was, and she was still reading her emails.

My third and final nudge was August 2021. I never heard from her again.

And yet she continues to post MSWLs and ask for stories like what I sent. This sort of thing happens a lot, I shrug and move on, but this one stands out as particularly frustrating.

@jmayerovitch Yes I think you're right! If you take a look at 3/1 (when I submitted), all the replies are up top, and the no replies on bottom. Then 3/2 she starts (or seems to start) replying again for a spell, then the rest of the 3/2s are "no reply."

I wish I knew whether she was just done with 3/1 or if she intends to come back. I'd love to query another person at this agency, but I don't want to lose my chance with Bridget.

I will say one thing: this agent gets INUNDATED with queries!
