Hammett published his first (hardboiled) story in 1922,
Hemingway in 1925. As a reporter he started in 1920, but I
don't think his early journalist pieces qualify as
hardboiled.

I haven't seen any record on this, though.

But the whole question was: is pulp fiction limited only to
pulp magazines or is it something else, e.g. something that
functions similarly with pulp magazines' stuff. And
Hemingway's does, to a certain extent. With this I mean his
style and world view. (Later Hemingway published in slicks
and if we still listen to Gorman et al.: they say that slick
fiction was just a stylized version of pulp fiction. I ask
again: is Hemingway pulp? (And I answer: no.))
