''Collier's'' popularized the short-short story which was often planned to fit on a single page. [[Knox Burger]] was ''Collier's'' fiction editor from 1948 to 1951 when he left to edit books for Dell and [[Fawcett Publications]]; he was replaced by Eleanor Stierhem Rawson. The numerous authors who contributed fiction to ''Collier's'' included [[F. Scott Fitzgerald]], [[Ray Bradbury]], [[Eleanor Hoyt Brainerd]], [[Willa Cather]], [[Roald Dahl]], [[Jack Finney]], [[Erle Stanley Gardner]], [[Zane Grey]], [[Ring Lardner]], [[Sinclair Lewis]], [[E. Phillips Oppenheim]], [[J. D. Salinger]], [[Kurt Vonnegut]], [[Louis L'Amour]], [[Albert Payson Terhune]] and [[Walter Tevis]]. Humor writers included Parke Cummings and [[H. Allen Smith]].<ref>''Collier's'' Issues in Detail</ref><ref>{{cite web|author=BRUCE WEBER|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/13/arts/13burger.html |title=Weber, Bruce.

Serializing novels during the late 1920s, ''Collier's'' sometimes simultaneously ran two ten-part novels, and non-fiction was also serialized. Between 1913 and 1949, [[Sax Rohmer]]'s [[Fu Manchu]] serials, illustrated by [[Joseph Clement Coll]] and others, were hugely popular. The first three Fu Manchu novels by Rohmer were actually compilations of 29 short stories that Rohmer wrote for ''Collier's''.

''The Mask of Fu Manchu'', which was adapted into [[The Mask of Fu Manchu|a 1932 film]] and a 1951 [[Wally Wood]] comic book, was first published as a 12-part ''Collier's'' serial, running from May 7 to July 23, 1932. The May 7 issue displayed a memorable cover illustration by famed maskmaker [[Władysław T. Benda]], and his mask design for that cover<ref>Knapp, Lawrence (2008).
