- Greasepaint Puritan was reviewed in Library Journal in January of 2024. The journal's Genevieve Williams observed: "This book is part biography of a little-known screenwriter and novelist, part analysis of how biography and art inform one another, and part critique of how art as a commercial product has a way of burying its origins. (The book is) a well-researched and thorough illumination of a writer who deserves to be better known."
- For a Q&A for the University of Michigan Press's blog, Maya answered questions about Greasepaint Puritan and what inspired her to write about the life and work of Bradford Ropes.
