Kennedy was particularly supportive of Poe's fledgling career and gave him work for the "Visiter" after the contest. He assisted in getting "MS. Found in a Bottle" reprinted in an annual gift book called "The Gift: A Christmas and New Year's Present" in its 1836 issue. Kennedy also urged Poe to collect the stories he submitted to the contest, including "MS. Found in a Bottle", into one edition and contacted publisher Carey & Lea on his behalf. A plan was made to publish the stories as a volume called "Tales of the Folio Club," and the "Saturday Visiter" promoted it by issuing a call for subscribers to purchase the book in October 1833 for $1 apiece. The "Folio Club" was intended to be a fictitious literary society the author called a group of "dunderheads" out to "abolish literature". The idea was similar in some respects to "The Canterbury Tales" by Geoffrey Chaucer. At each monthly meeting, a member would present a story. A week after the "Visiter" issued its advertisement, however, the newspaper announced that the author had withdrawn the pieces with the expectation they would be printed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Publishers Harper and Brothers were offered the collection but rejected it, saying that readers wanted long narratives and novels, inspiring Poe to write "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket", another sea tale.
