In 1988, she was awarded the scholarship ''Creation in Narrative'' by the Fondo Nacional de las Artes (National Endowment for the Arts). In 2001, her book ''Un color inexistente'' received the Carmen Conde Women's Poetry Award.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://hemeroteca.abc.es/nav/Navigate.exe/hemeroteca/madrid/abc/2001/06/23/063.html |title=Fallo de los premios 'Carmen Conde' de poesía |work=ABC |page=63 |language=Spanish |date=23 June 2001 |access-date=24 October 2018}}</ref> In 2008, her novel ''Nadie baila el tango'' (''No one dances the tango'') (Ediciones Gárgola, 2008) was awarded the first prize for unpublished novels given by the Gobierno de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires (Buenos Aires City government).
