Awards
She has won an Inkpot Award and the 2006 Friends of Lulu Award for Women of Distinction, and was also nominated in the (long-discontinued) Eisner "Best Editor" category in 1992, 1994, and 1995 for her work on a range of titles.
In addition to editing multiple books which have received Eisner and Harvey Awards, she has edited a handful of titles which have won the Eisner Award for "Best Anthology" - award-winning anthologies are often seen as the de facto 'editor's award' since their success depends far more on the editor than do other comics. She also - with artist Tim Sale - won the 2006 Haxtur Award for the Planeta deAgostini Spanish translation of their short story "Young Love" from Solo #1.

She says that:
| “ | "..one of the best moments of my life, before I ever began working with Will Eisner, was accepting an Eisner Award from him on stage and having him kiss me. I was standing in front of the microphone... and my acceptance speech went right out of my head. All I could say was, 'Oh my God, Will Eisner just kissed me!' " | ” |
