John T. Frederick (1893-1975) was an American author, editor, and literary critic, best known for his role in promoting Midwestern literature. He founded The Midland, a magazine that championed the work of regional writers, helping to shape the American literary landscape in the early 20th century. Frederick's own writing often focused on rural life and the complexities of Midwestern culture. As an advocate for literary regionalism, he played a crucial role in bringing attention to voices outside the traditional literary hubs of New York and Boston
