Late yesterday, I received a wonderful email from a publisher who had requested a query, then a full. She said she is "likely" to be offering me a contract and had a couple questions.
Yay! I can go at least a few days on this!
Hi All,
Has anyone had a successful query to folio? I am looking for some advice. Their website has a sample query letter format that seems to go against everything I have read here about writing queries. Just wondering if those who did have success with folio did so with a traditional query, or following their site's direction.

Erin Harris has moved from the Irene Skolnick Literary Agency to Folio Literary Management, where she will continue to work with existing clients and focus on growing the agency's fiction list, in addition to representing YA and select narrative non-fiction titles.
I got an offer of rep on Feb 12th from Melissa Sarver after she requested my full on Jan 31!!!! She is wonderful! We spoke for an hour and a half, and she was just as excited about the book as I am. I have five other fulls pending, so I did my due diligence and let the other considering agents know about my offer; I plan to make my final decision on Tuesday the 19th.
I've been querying for nine months, and for all the waiting that comes with the process, when it finally happened it happened so FAST. I couldn't be happier
*Proof of my overwhelming joy: my not-even-two year old car up and died today in a billow of black smoke and it barely dented my buzz. (That might also be because I'm under warranty, but still
Oh, ETA, mine is literary/upmarket fiction.

Thanks, all! I did accept Melissa's offer and officially signed with her last week. I have a little bit of editing to do and then we're off!
