Category:American novelists

Categorization guidelines for American novelists Per current consensus, this category should not directly include any American novelists. All American novelists should be in one or more by-century categories based on when they wrote novels:
 * (1701–1800)
 * (1801–1900)
 * (1901–2000)
 * (2001–2100)

Novelists should also be placed into, and  as appropriate, and into any relevant genre or ethnic/national categories as well. However, a novelist should never only be in a genre, ethnic, or gender-based category – all novelists should be in the century-categories at a minimum.
