They don't accept sci-fi — that doesn't bode well for fantasy, but do you suppose they classify fantasy as a sub-genre of sci-fi in the speculative fiction sense? I'm thinking probably so.

EDIT — that is the agency guidelines. Her own says nothing about it, so I'm giving it a try. "The water does not flow until the faucet is turned on," and all that.

That's really weird that they don't have specific agent information or info on what they ARE looking for. I wouldn't assume that if they don't want sci-fi, they don't want fantasy. Lord of the Rings and Terminator are very different :) I would submit to them anyway.

That's what I figured. The worst they can say is no. And she's a new agent — maybe not set in her ways as to what she does or doesn't want, anyway.
 
That's a bit odd, how is she a new agent, if she joined the agency in 2009?? It doesn't look good for fantasy, but as you say it can't hurt to try especially when they aren't too specific ;)

Well, it's one of five query letters I've sent off today, anyway, and one thank you for a rejection letter I got back. It'll be easy to thank her for her consideration, as well.
