From 2013, unnamed agent

Thank you for letting me have a look at your proposal, BEARDED LADY.  I really like the idea of it, but, unfortunately, I didn’t  feel that the writing was strong enough for a memoir.  There is such competition around memoirs these days that the writing either has to be phenomenal or it has to be written by a celebrity.  I’m sorry not to have a better reaction.  I wish you the best of luck with your work.
