In last year's 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.
