I just threw my hat into the ring with Mary Beth this morning - I will update again if/when I get a response for anyone tracking response times
Mary Beth never replied to me and it has been 2 months. I don't know if she's a no answer means no thanks kind of agent or not, so I thought I'd email her today to double check she received the original query. Heck, the worst she can do is ignore me twice lol
Anyway, I got an auto-reply straight away. I didn't get this before so I wondered if the last time I emailed her something it hadn't gone through. Then I clicked on it and realised that it said:
'I will be out of the office on October 20th due to jury duty.'
So, I guess from the fact that she's still sending out that message on her emails nearly a month later, that Mary Beth hasn't been in the office for quite some time. Maybe it turned into a long trial? Or she's off ill? But just some info FWIW for anyone else out there waiting to hear from her or thinking of querying...
