Rejection in five days. Memoir. Liked the subject but wants it from another perspective. Meaning, not mine ????

A very quick not right for me, but what was unexpected is that my query was a military memoir - two genres she expressed interest in. Reason given was that 'history' was not her strong suite. Since all memoirs are by definition historical, I'm confused. Not sour grapes - just saying.

Seems polite and well meaning, but be warned that she tends to change her mind after showing enthusiasm for an idea and asking for proposals. Video game books are a harder sell for her than they once were.

Rejected three days after submission- at least it was a trifle more personal than the norm: "You deal with an important topic. But it isn't right for me."

Very quick and kind response to query one day after submission:
"Thanks for trying me with your book project. I'm sorry to pass as it sounds intriguing and eye-opening but I'm over subscribed with creativity books at the moment and this one doesn't sound quite right for my current mix. I wish you the best publishing success."

Thank you for sending me the proposal for YOUR BOOK. It's a fascinating story especially with the current [state of the world]. But I think it would work better as a narrative (maybe through working with a journalist) than a memoir, telling the story of the early days of [industry]. So it's a pass from me. But thanks for giving me the chance to review. I wish you the best publishing success with this.
