She won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1935 at age 24 for her first novel, Now in November and shortly after, published Winter Orchard, a collection of short stories that had previously appeared in The Atlantic, Vanity Fair, The St. Louis Review, and Hound & Horn. Of these stories, "Dark" won an O. Henry Award in 1934, and "John the Six" won an O. Henry Award third prize the following year. Johnson continued to write short stories and won three more O.
