In last year's The Pushcart Prize, editor Bill Henderson noted that The Pushcart Prize, "the small good thing, has evolved into an international prize drawing nominations from small presses around the globe." As always, the selections are made by a distinguished panel of Guest Editors and hundreds of Contributing Editors. The list of authors selected and encouraged over the decades is immense. (An index to previous volumes is included in each edition.)

The Pushcart Prize won the NBCC Sandroff Lifetime Achievement award, The Poets & Writers/Barnes and Noble Writers for Writers citation, and was named by Publishers Weekly as one of the seminal publications in American publishing history.
