FWG Newsletter July 2026

The Summer sun beamed its wonderful light through June and straight into the next month! Welcome to July, everyfur! Pride month may be over, but our strong Pride shines along with the sun, showing its beautiful colors until the end of time!

Now, this next topic has to do with Book Publishing and how to navigate it without having any trouble! The next Blog post after this one was created by our Guild Markets Manager: Chase Anderson! This is mainly to help out newer authors navigate through their publishing journey. Though of course it is free for anyone to view right here on the site! Thank you so much, Chase!

Lastly, I’d like to remind all of you lovely furs that you can do it. There will be hard times, times where everything seems to be falling, times where your goals seem impossible to reach… but I just want you to remember that you have the ability to fight and keep going. Never give up on yourself or your dreams! Write that story that you’ve been thinking about for ages. You are the voice for your stories— let your voice be heard! You can do this. There are many that believe in you, and that includes me!

Keep on writing!
