I was trying to find out more about Amy Tipton at Fine Print, and I happened upon this interview. Mostly it is people asking her how to query or whether she'd be interested in their projects, but there is a bit of information I hadn't seen elsewhere - even though she takes YA, she doesn't take the hottest sub-genre of YA: fantasy.
I can't vouch for Amy personally however I can say that J Reid and June Clark at the agency are both very professional and have been easy to communicate with by e-mail etc. Shockingly (laugh) I made a mistake and queried two agents at the office and rather than it being a problemo it ended up becoming just a funny goof and no big deal so I like their sense of humor as well. If that helps any professional and a good sense of humor and I see the agents have lots of sales in their bags so that always helps.
Has anyone had any personal experiences with Amy Tipton, Meredith Hays or Janet Reid?
Janet Reid is damn near universally adored, near as I can tell- particularly by her clients. She's smart and engaging and a very effective agent.
Also crickets here (17th November). At what point to you think it's okay to requery (if at all) when you get no response to an equery?
It's customary to let 90 days go by before you nudge the agent. More if his guidelines say so, or less if the guidelines say so. But in the absence of the agent spelling out a time frame, 90 days would not be unreasonable.

Ah fair deal. Guess I'll chalk that up as a no thanks then.
Congrats on the requests SJAB You must have something there.
I signed with Stephany Evans, president of Fine Print, in late Oct. She sold my three-book series by mid-November. She is a wonderful agent! Insightful, kind and very, very honest. I have been very happy with Fine Print representation so far.
