Is Now the Time?

Q. Has anyone had any luck querying since the strike started? I've had a couple agents tell me they aren't reading queries right now. I'm not sure whether to believe the strike is a good time for new writers to break in, or the opposite.

Agents can't sell a script to a WGA signatory company. So I could see that they might not be excited to read a script they can't sell. On the other hand I would have thought they would want to get a jump on the spec script market. Anybody else have a sense for whether agents are reading or not reading right now?

(Of course December is never a good month to get an agent to read anything, what with Chrismukkah and all.)
