Susan Cooper 1986 letter

 

7 June 1986

 

 

Dear Anita,

 

 

Here’s my Second Look at THE NARGUN AND THE STARS. It’s 1150 words by my count; hope it will do.

 

 

Just one plea: if anything is changed, even a comma, I’d like to approve it first. And if you share your predecessors’ determination never to publish a colon without capitalizing the word following it (I used to bug poor Ethel endlessly about this) I’ll have to alter a couple of the colons in this piece, because that uppercase usage drives me batty. Sorry to be a pain.

 

 

Best regards,
[signed: Susan]
