Harry Sinclair Lewis (February 7, 1885 – January 10, 1951), better known as Sinclair Lewis, was an American novelist, short-story writer, and playwright.
 In 1930, he became the first writer from the United States to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, which was awarded "for his vigorous and graphic art of description and his ability to create, with wit and humor, new types of characters."
 His works are known for their insightful and critical views of American capitalism and materialism between the wars.
 He is also respected for his strong characterizations of modern working women.
 H. L. Mencken wrote of him, "[If] there was ever a novelist among us with an authentic call to the trade ... it is this red-haired tornado from the Minnesota wilds."
 He has been honored by the U.S. Postal Service with a postage stamp in the Great Americans series.

Mari Tomasi (1907-1965) was an American novelist who portrayed the lives of Italian immigrants in New England.
 Literature professor Thomas J. Ferraro calls her "the first significant Italian American woman novelist."

Martha Ellis Gellhorn (November 8, 1908 – February 15, 1998) was an American novelist, travel writer, and journalist, who is now considered one of the greatest war correspondents of the 20th century.

The Goose-step: A Study of American Education is a book, published in 1923, by the American novelist and muckraking journalist Upton Sinclair.
 It is an investigation into the consequences of plutocratic capitalist control of American colleges and universities.
 Sinclair writes, “Our educational system is not a public service, but an instrument of special privilege; its purpose is not to further the welfare of mankind, but merely to keep America capitalist."

Charles Brockden Brown (January 17, 1771 – February 22, 1810) was an American novelist, historian, and editor of the Early National period.
 He is generally regarded by scholars as the most important American novelist before James Fenimore Cooper.
 He is the most frequently studied and republished practitioner of the "early American novel," or the US novel between 1789 and roughly 1820.
 Although Brown was not the first American novelist, as some early criticism claimed, the breadth and complexity of his achievement as a writer in multiple genres (novels, short stories, essays and periodical writings of every sort, poetry, historiography, reviews) makes him a crucial figure in US literature and culture of the 1790s and first decade of the 19th century, and a significant public intellectual in the wider Atlantic print culture and public sphere of the era of the French Revolution.
