Credo Fitch Harris

Credo Fitch Harris was an American journalist, novelist, and radio station manager whose work was closely tied to Kentucky. He wrote fiction as well as nonfiction, and his career shows an unusual mix of literary ambition and practical media work.

Beyond his books, Harris was involved in broadcasting at WHAS in Louisville during radio's formative years. That background gives his writing and public life an added historical interest: he belonged to a generation that worked in both print and the new world of radio.

His books are still traceable through library and public-domain catalogs, which has helped keep his name alive for modern readers. For audiobook listeners, he offers the appeal of a writer connected both to early twentieth-century American fiction and to the beginnings of broadcast culture.
