What would you do . . .

. . . if you had a partial out to an agent and A) it's been a month after the stated response time and B) you read on Publishers Marketplace that they are no longer taking adult fiction? It isn't clear to me whether submissions are closed or the agency is only interested now in YA novels and the like. Said agent seems very nice and has responded within the agency timeline--both rejections and reqs. for fulls--to others with partials. BUT, this is info I gathered from the children's and YA crowd (I discovered this at an Agent Response times site, http://www.verlakay.com/boards/index.php?board=43.0 . Even though this isn't my field, the discussions on it can be useful).

I'm presuming that this is a rejection/dead duck in the water, but I'm not sure. What should I do?

Thanks, that's what I was thinking--a polite email for the sake of closure. I noticed from the verlakay board that people who submitted around the same date that I did received responses a month ago.

Yes, it was a requested partial sent via email and with a confirmed auto-response. The agent seems very, very pleasant, both through my impressions and that of others who have dealt with her.

I have had (and continue to have) a steady stream of queries out there in the mean time. I have two fulls out, too, but no requests for material in a couple of months. The handwriting is sort of on the wall for this novel anyway, I think.

Straws. I'm grasping, here. (Maybe I should be posting in Rejection and Dejection . . .).
