We take a good look around as the leaves swap from their beautiful green hues to the fantastic warm colors that we see now! The sun hides behind clouds while those leaves sluggishly drift away from the branches and down to the tiny piles of crunchy leaves we can jump into. Welcome to October, everyfur!
October is Furry Book Month! Which means… our Book Bundle is up and ready! You can purchase it and gain a spectacular collection of furry novels all for you to read! Once you purchase it, all of the authors within the bundle get a share of the proceeds. The proceeds get split between each author and an extra share that the guild keeps. The complete bundle has 10 books with 3 being NSFW!
Find the FWG Book Bundle here!

We sometimes forget that failure is something every writer/author comes across. It’s something that’s natural and unavoidable. Though, we can use those failures to reinforce ourselves and make ourselves stronger! It helps us improve and build up a strong shield for anymore “failures” that we may come across. Don’t let those setbacks define you. Move past them and keep on creating! You can do this! It doesn’t matter what others think, as long as you are happy with what you have created. Never give up and keep on moving, fellow guild members!
