In 2011, Molly Gaudry was nominated for the PEN/Joyce Osterweil Award for Poetry, and her verse novel, We Take Me Apart, was a finalist for the Asian American Literary Award for Poetry. She completed a collection for a 3-author YesYes Books project that includes Bob Hicok and Phillip B. Williams. Molly also founded The Lit Pub, about which a reporter at Big Think said: “I am intrigued by The Lit Pub as a business venture, a social experiment, and just possibly as the start of a reverse trend within the bookselling industry." In response, The New Yorker blogged: "Can an online bookstore cultivate the same sense of community that local shops do? The Lit Pub is trying."
