Our philosophy at Kensington Pond Books is to provide you, the aspiring author, with simple, straightforward solutions that will help get your book, story or poem the exposure it deserves.

Our Online Library contains hundreds of titles, many of which were written by some of histories greatest authors. These stories are presented in easy to read plain text format and are available free for all to enjoy. If selected, your unpublished title will be included in our library by category, with a new author's icon. Your title will be presented in its entirety on its own individual web page along with an author's biography, brief story introduction and new author's icon. This service is FREE to all unpublished authors whose stories are accepted into our program.

E-books or electronic books are publications that are encrypted for digital delivery via download, email, ftp, discs and CDs, as well as DVDs.
