"We had a tough time this year," says Sellman. "There were so many good manuscripts to pick from, including both fiction and poetry areas. We wish we could have nominated more."

The Pushcart is one of the largest literary awards available, distinguishing short stories, poems and essays published by America's small presses and magazines. Publishers Weekly named the Pushcart among the "most influential in the development of the American book business over the past century and a quarter."
