Joy Harris doesn't like anyone's query. Now that's selective.
Is it worth it to even try? She doesn't even bother with a website, which suggests an agent keeping a low profile. You'd get the impression that she doesn't actually want you to contact her.
Consider the statistics. According to the data at Querytracker.net, she's been sent thirty-six queries and not asked for one single submission. She hasn't requested one extra page, let alone the first three chapters, and certainly hasn't asked for a full manuscript.
On the bright side, however, if you should mail her a query, she'll reject you within a couple of weeks, and it's always nice to get a response of some sort in short order.
There are times in the agent search process when your letters are met with silence. At least a snail-mail query to Joy Harris would make some sound and let you know that you're alive and the postal system is functioning.
