It required me browsing Wikipedia's List of American novelists with Ctrl-F "(18" until I found someone extremely famous, but I got it.

Next thread will be up soon.

 Non-free guess: H. P. Lovecraft
This is correct! Despite his repulsive racism and his cat’s name, H. P. Lovecraft has written some of my favorite stories. I was worried the “primarily a novelist” would put a kink in this… so I’m glad you got it! Congrats

 let's try this:
non-free guess: Lyman Frank Baum, author of the wizard of oz?
This is incorrect. For my first hint, I would recommend some questions regarding the genre of the author's writings.

 Free guess: Upton Sinclair
It is not Upton Sinclair
Ah, I should have been more careful. He won a Pulitzer. Oh well.
I thought of this one earlier as well, but didn't guess it for this exact reason.

Already done in my 7-way showdown!

"Spartacus" was taken when I signed up for the site.
