They said they were officially open when they put the website up, right?
Chris sent me a reply.
Maybe give her a day and then if she doesn't respond, resend?

Erin, I did the same thing (no auto reply, sent to Danielle's other email address - oops!). Are you going to resubmit?
I submitted to the gmail address (pursuant to submission requirements) rather than the one posted on QueryTracker. If I don't hear back in the stated 4 week time frame, I'll resub. I was thinking maybe they didn't have gmail set up yet for auto responders.
For what it's worth, Michael Sterns mentioned on Twitter that the site isn't officially live. (Just tried the links again and got error messages.)
Right! I won't feel so guilty about jumping the gun a bit
The website is back up: http://www.upstartcrowliterary.com
Note that when they first brought the site up, it said 20 pages as an attachment, and now they want 20 pages in the body of the e-mail (attachments will not be read). It will be interesting to see if they do anything with the ones they got before they changed guidelines.

Did you send to Danielle? As far as I can tell, she hasn't sent a response to anyone. Chris did.Rats. I didn't get an automated response, so I suppose they still didn't get my query.

This is exactly what I did. (And I thank sage with all my heart for seeing that requirement, too. I seriously thought I was going crazy when I discovered I had completely failed at submitting according to the guidelines...but they changed their guidelines!)If it were me and I saw this, I would resubmit with it in the body of the email, just in case. What's the worst that can happen?
I just got a nice, personal "r" from Danielle. Quick TAT. Here are my stats:
8/5 Query with 20 pgs. attached per guidelines
8/8 Re-submit with 20pgs. pasted in e-mail per change in quidelines
8/12 Rejected
BTW I never got an auto-acknowledgment.
