Cada año se publica el “O. Henry Prize Stories”, libro de relatos que reúne las 20 mejores historias del periodo y que se publica en revistas en lengua inglesa de Estados Unidos y Canadá. Esta colección, iniciada en 2003, se dedica al escritor que haya realizado la mejor contribución al arte del cuento. En dicho año se concedió a Mavis Gallant, escritora canadiense que reside en París, Francia.
Este premio lo han recibido, entre otros, los escritores William Faulkner, Dorothy Parker, Flannery O'Connor, John Updike, Truman Capote, Raymond Carver, Saul Bellow, e incluso el cineasta Woody Allen.
