I got a rejection from an e-mail query in three days just last month.

Also, QueryTracker is a very good tool to check on this sort of thing. They keep a data sheet for each agent that lists response times to users as well as a wealth of more in-depth data.

Thanks! I was checking querytracker but it also seems to be really fast for her and mine has been over two weeks. Not usually worrisome but given her quick responses I wondered.

EQ to Emily Van Beek: 4/12/13
Referred to Erin Harris, who requested a full + synopsis: 4/17/13

YA Science-Fiction 67K words

She also requested a two-week exclusive, but I already have a few other agents looking at partials/fulls.

I've never been referred before. It's exciting!

Paige Wheeler

A while ago, but just thought I'd add this in case someone is looking for a comparative time for turnaround:

EQ: 11/6/2012 (Paige Wheeler)
Partial Request: 11/6
Rejected: 12/7

She was very kind and professional. Hope that helps someone.

FolioLit website

Is anyone having trouble getting into the Foliolit website? Every time I click on a link from somewhere for this agency I get message that the website is dangerous.

Or is it just me?

Thanks, then it has to be my computer. It does give me the opportunity to say that I know the risks. Anything else, then I'll run like crazy and I can always run a virus scan afterwards.

I queried them and they responded within three days. It was a pass, but at least they responded.

Better luck next time PRDavid. I was disappointed with the pass I got from there because I really liked Paige Wheeler. But I'm with you, it's nice to see that they got it, even if it's a rejection.

Thank you for the congratulations!

I haven't signed with anyone yet -- I received an offer from Lana Popovic at Zachary Shuster Harmsworth. I'm now in the process of waiting to hear back from all the agents who had fulls, partials, and recent queries. Erin was one of those.

After next Friday, there should be a post wherein I crow about which agent now has me (or I have, I'm not sure how that possession should go).

I queried Jita Fumich at the beginning of April and have yet to hear anything, if that helps give you an idea.

Yikes! thanks for responding. Her page states that she responds to every query within 4 to 6 weeks. I am now wondering if a lot of persons are getting the same response rate as us?
I hope that you get a response soon. I will share if I get any. Good luck with your querying.

Their website has been down for the last day and a half. Not sure why though.

The website is still down. Not sure exactly if it affects sending submissions. Here what it says:

Content Encoding Error

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.

Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

Yeah, I was about to submit to an agent there, but the missing website is making it harder. Of course, you can get all the info from the Google cache, but I'd feel more comfortable with the site being up.
