In our January/February 2016 issue, Mag editor Elissa Gershowitz asked
Maybe a Fox coauthors Alison McGhee and Kathi Appelt about their collaboration process — and about that tearjerker ending. Read the full review of
Maybe a Fox here.
Elissa Gershowitz: How did you work together on this book? (And did you
intentionally set out to make each other cry?!)

Kathi Appelt
Alison McGhee: At first we wrote in separate voices — fox and girl — emailing chapters back and forth weekly. Later we worked on it simultaneously via Google Docs, and finally we took turns revising the entire thing solo (about a zillion times total). Intentional crying? Nope. (But if you want the truth, we both still cry whenever we read the ending.)
Kathi Appelt: What Alison said!
From the January/February 2016 issue of The Horn Book Magazine.
