During that era, the line between "quality" and "commercial" literature was not distinct. While American periodicals first syndicated British writers, over time they drew from a growing base of domestic authors. The rise of the periodicals like Harper's and the Atlantic Monthly grew in symbiotic tandem with American literary talent. The magazines nurtured and provided an economic sustainability for writers, while the writers helped grow the periodicals' circulation base.

However, not every writer could keep up with the serial writing pace. Wilkie Collins , for instance, was never more than a week before publication. The difference in writing pace and output in large part determined the author's success, as audience appetite created demand for further installments. In the German-speaking countries , the serialized novel was widely popularized by the weekly family magazine Die Gartenlaube , which reached a circulation of , by
