In 2004 she received the Jiří Orten's Award (cs: Cenou Jifiího Ortena), a prestigious award for authors under thirty years, for her collection of poems, Krajina s Ofélií (Scenery with Ophelia). Juror Ivan Binar said "The unsightly book with a suspicious title was a great surprise and pleasure for me. I began reading, and didn't stop until I reached the end".

Šťastná regularly holds public readings of her works in Ostrava and Brno, but also attends larger literature events such as "Literature May". She lives in Prague, Czech Republic.
