– Scott McClanahan

“Justin Maurer’s Seventeen Television is filled with profound and high-octane moments written with a heart-on-his-sleeve sincerity.”
– Chloe Caldwell

“Maurer sculpts very rich characters and depicts absurd situations in hysterical terms. An extremely clever and sincere writer.”

“Justin Maurer has a real gift for storytelling…an expertly conversational feel.”
