Ruth asked Amal El-Mohtar:

how did you and Max divi up the writing for "This is How you Lose the Time War"? My Sci Fi book group read it this month, and we are discussing it. Thanks. BTW, we love it!

Amal El-Mohtar Hi Ruth! So glad you're enjoying the book!

In brief, Max wrote all of Red and I wrote all of Blue.

At medium length, we described the process in depth here: http://clarkesworldmagazine.com/el-mo...

At longest length, we described the process here: https://vector-bsfa.com/2020/03/11/th...

& this is super short notice, but Max and I are going to be in conversation this evening (8PM EST) about it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpG0L...

Thanks so much for reading!

Best,

Amal

Will you be doing any events coming up? Side note: I assigned this as required reading for the high school this year and was surprised to hear that students warmed to it significantly after realizing it was an LGBT romance instead of the "literature" it seemed like they were being forced to read.
