1-day response, which was very appreciated. However, she said she's already working on a book similar to mine. Rejected. It was from Carla Glasser

Got a very nice rejection letter from Betsy after a couple of weeks of reading the full manuscript.

"I had the pleasure of sitting down with your memoir this weekend and very much enjoyed your humorous voice and clear-eyed descriptions. You won my trust as a reader in just a few paragraphs and kept it throughout. As much as I enjoyed your material, though, I’m afraid I’m not the best fit for it. I’ve had enough trouble placing travel adventures in the past few years to dissuade me from taking on new projects in the category. This is, of course, just my experience–and I hope you find another agent who feels different."
