Michelle Herrera Mulligan edited and contributed a novella to Juicy Mangos (Atria Books, 2007), the first-ever literary collection of Latina erotica in English, which Pulitzer-Prize-winning author Oscar Hijuelos called “not only a tantalizing read, but a deeply rewarding one as well.”

She received an Outstanding Contributions to Hispanic Studies Award in spring of 2006. She has also been invited speak and give presentations at multiple universities, including Yale, Florida International University, and University of California, Los Angeles.
