Furry Book Month is here at last! We think all months should celebrate furry fiction, but this is the month set aside to truly show our appreciation. Oxfurred Comma is coming later on this month, and we’ll have some information on that to come, but first let’s get our teeth sunk into what we have coming throughout the month.
Our wonderful community would be much lesser without the publishers who help bring our writing to an audience. Every Furry Book Month, we often see sales and discounts from them. Over the month, we will be updating this page with any specials to help put more books into your hands.
FurPlanet are currently discounting all remaining Goal Publications stock to just $5.
This is while stocks last, so get it quick before it’s all gone!
The Furry Writers’ Guild is trying something new this year – we have put together our first ever Furry Book Bundle! The book bundle includes nine novels from our members, and acts as a great introduction in reading furry novels. All proceeds from this bundle will be shared amongst the authors, with the FWG taking a share to help fund any future endeavours we’re looking towards.
You can find the Book Bundle on Gumroad, and is available for a minimum purchase of $10 – that’s just over $1 per book! A great way to support furry writers! The link to the bundle is here: https://furrywritersguild.gumroad.com/l/FurryBookMonthBundle
Included in the bundle is: John Bailey, J.F.R. Coates, Royce Day, Renee Carter Hall, Gre7g Luterman, R.A. Meenan, Michael H. Payne, Madison Scott-Clary, and James L. Steele.
Should this bundle go well, then you can expect to see further deals in the future! But get in quick, this bundle is only for Furry Book Month!
Later this month, we also have Oxfurred Comma returning. This will be the third iteration of everyone’s favourite online furry writing convention! And if you want to be a part of the fun, then there’s still a chance! If you have a panel you want to share, then please get in contact with us soon to confirm your participation. Panels can be pre-recorded or run live.
And we can’t speak of Oxfurred Comma without also mentioning the Flash Fiction Contest! That’s right, it’s back for another year!
Entries for the flash fiction contest are open to everyone, and should be a maximum of 500 words. There is no theme, but the entries must be furry in some way. The stories must not be erotic, as a PG-13 rating is preferred. All entries should be sent to the Furry Writers Guild email address, with Flash Fiction included in the subject. Entries are to be submitted by October 16th.
The winner of the contest will receive a prize of $25.
There will be more details about Oxfurred Comma over the next couple of weeks, so keep an eye on our Twitter feed for more information!
