Writing for both adult and children's audiences, Susan Muaddi Darraj has won several literary awards. An American Book Award, two Arab American Book Awards, and a Maryland State Arts Council Independent Artists Award were among the accolades she received. She was designated a 2018 Ford Fellow by the United States Artists in 2018.

Jaime Manrique, the judge for the AWP Grace Paley Prize for Short Fiction, selected Susan Muaddi Darraj's short story collection A Curious Land: Stories from Home as the winner. Aside from that, it was nominated for a Palestine Book Award and won the Arab American Book Award in 2016. The Inheritance of Exile, her previous collection of short stories, was released by the University of Notre Dame Press in 2007.
