FWG Newsletter October 2025

We made it to October! It’s time to celebrate Furry Book Month in the best way possible, by reading other people’s furry books and writing our own.

For the first part of that goal, check out the 2025 Furry Book Bundle available! We have some amazing authors and books in the bundle this year! As we’ve done for the last few years, you have a choice of only the general audience books or the full bundle that contains those books as well as the 18+ ones.

For the second part of the month’s “read and write furry fiction,” the Furry Novel Jam is going full-blast on Discord! It’s available year round, but it really kicks off in October. Set a goal that fits your schedule and write–it’s as simple as that!

If you’ve had a story idea for a while and haven’t had time to start writing it, this is a great time to do so. It’s also a great time to take a look through your to-be-read pile and grab something you’ve been wanting to read when you get a minute. It’s important to make time for the things you love.

Here are the current open markets for your short stories:
Indecent Exposure – Deadline December 22, 2025
CLAW Vol. 2 – Deadline April 30, 2026
This Is Halloween – Deadline When Full
Children Of The Night – Deadline When Full
