Rob Clough of The Comics Journal says: "In the latest volume of Not My Small Diary, editor Delaine Derry Green focuses on The Power Of Music, giving it a fresh spin as master cartoonists describe how music is important in their lives. Their comics discuss how music both inspires and helps to process emotions. Whether it's the joy of discovering new music to listen to or making your own, the mixed feelings of seeing one's heroes, the warmth or reliving childhood musical memories, or the ways in which music helps them work through grief, this anthology delves into every sweet and painful moment.”

John Porcellino (King-Cat Comics) calls Not My Small Diary “One of the most important comic-zines in history.”
MariNaomi calls NMSD her "favorite long-running anthology".
Joe Decie boldly states that he "wouldn't be drawing comics if it weren't for NMSD."
Joe Biel says “NMSD is a landmark and barometer for quality in the genre and I have discovered many favorite artists in these pages.”
Xerography Debt states “Every issue of NMSD is like a Who’s Who of the comic/zine world. Worth every penny. NMSD never disappoints.”

Not My Small Diary began in 1996 as an offshoot of Delaine Derry Green’s zine, My Small Diary, and the idea is simple: autobiographical stories presented in comic form. Not My Small Diary has been inducted into the Zine Hall of Fame and was featured in shows such as “Dark Matter” at the Baltimore Museum of Art, 2004; “Art of Zines 04” at the San Jose Museum of Art, 2004; “Dear Diary: The Autobiographical Comic Book” at the Athens Institute of Contemporary Art, 2006; and “Art of Zines” at the Anno Domini Gallery, San Jose, 2009. Small Diary publications have been sold at City Lights Bookstore, traveled across the US and Canada aboard the Mobilivre traveling bookmobile and are part of several library collections located in New York, Denver, Seattle, Utah and more. Not My Small Diary 17 was required text at Penn State University for a class in the College of Education.
