English term or phrase: award-winning
Hi, I am just trying to think of nice equivalents to this in English that sound too pompous...its for a friends press-release and though she won an award for her first book (the first time she ever had anything published) she would like for it to sound a little more humble but still draw attention to the fact that she was awarded a prize for her book. Any ideas? Thanks! (In english)

Sorry, didn't see you wanted it in English but guess what: YOU ALREADY HAVE IT!
There's nothing pompous about 'award-winning' it's a run of the mill expression
