March 9th, 1981
Ms. Walker,
While your piece “The Color Purple” presents a compelling and thoroughly moving narrative, we were bothered by your decision to end every sentence with an exclamation point. As a reader, this was extremely jarring. I am afraid, for this reason, we are forced to make the difficult decision to pass on your manuscript.
Best of luck.
