Molly asked Elizabeth Wein:

Hello! I absolutely love Code Name Verity! What kind of research and time went into creating this book?

Elizabeth Wein There's a lot of information about the research I did for Code Name Verity here in this interview on MissPrint's blog: https://missprint.wordpress.com/2013/...
The book took me about 7 months to write, and I did the research while I was writing it. It went very quickly - I was really writing in a white-heat of inspiration while I was working on it.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so glad that you're a fan of this book!

Violet asked Elizabeth Wein:

Hi! I read and loved both Stateless and Code Name Verity. Thank you for writing both!! I found it really cool how in Stateless, you were able to invent "historical" events that never really happened. How did you even start to go about that?
