Reviews
"New Jersey pride runs deep. So does our desire to share it with anybody who will listen--sometimes even more so when they would rather not hear it. Monmouth County native Kerri Sullivan understands this unique state pride is just part of the Jersey experience. It's something she wanted to capture in her new anthology, New Jersey Fan Club, out June 17."--Shelby Vittek "New Jersey Monthly" (5/26/2022 12:00:00 AM)
"Depending on who you ask, New Jersey is either a punchline or a paradise. This new anthology featuring essays, interviews and comics from an array of writers and artists presents a solid argument that New Jersey is lots of things to lots of different types of people, and maybe we should go experience them all."-- "The Stateside" (10/10/2022 12:00:00 AM)
"If I were recommending one book to someone moving to New Jersey from someplace else, this just might be the one I'd put in their welcome packet."--Brian Donohue "News12 NJ" (10/10/2022 12:00:00 AM)
"New Jersey Fans Wax Lyrical," by Shelby Vittek-- "New Jersey Monthly"
