FWG Newsletter September 2026

~ F.K.

The sun was bright during August, but the heat and storms didn’t hide themselves, testing our endurance throughout the month. We powered through and made it to a new month— and the leaves are beginning their colorful changes as our reward! Welcome to September, everyfur!

A huge reminder that we have the Book Bundle coming up in October! FWG members can fill out their application in the form below and have their book part of an entire wonderful selection of furry works. Authors get a share of the proceeds! We split the proceeds between all the authors, with one extra share that the guild keeps.

Find the Book Bundle form here! https://forms.gle/nMVXyyzWGhtCTg347

We’ve created another quick and easy way to support members of our guild. On Bluesky, we now have a Starter Pack for FWG Members and FWG Associate Members! If you’re part of the FWG and would like to be part of the Starter Pack, then contact the President or the Vice President and we’ll get you on the pack. If it gets full, then we’ll just make another one for more members! Help your fellow furry friends out and check out their works!

Find the Starter Pack here! https://bsky.app/starter-pack/furrywritersguild.bsky.social/3mrqiuhsbsn2m

If you want to support the FWG more, then we have a Paypal and Patreon for you to donate to! This helps with future endeavors for this awesome guild we run here! So, if you choose to donate, thank you tons! We appreciate you forever and always!

Taking breaks is never a bad thing, my fellow writers and authors. Those breaks are essential to refuel and refresh our creative outlets. Don’t feel bad if you ever need to step away from a WIP to focus on anything else within your life. Pressure creates diamonds, yes, but it also creates rubble. Make sure that you’re not putting too much pressure on yourself and keep your mind stress free!

FWG Newsletter September 2025

~ Mercyful Kate

It’s September, and I just staggered back from Dragon Con with a (fortunately mild) case of con crud. I also just moved to another state, so if you have contacted the guild about something and haven’t heard back, please reach out again. It might have slipped between the cracks in all the chaos of moving.

We’re getting really close to October, which means Furry Book Month! That means we’re now collecting submissions for this year’s Furry Book Bundle! Please remember that you MUST be a current member of the FWG to submit your book. If you’re not, this might be a good time to apply.

We are taking submissions for both a general audiences and an 18+ book bundle until Sept. 27, 2025. To submit your novel for consideration, please keep the following qualifications in mind:

The author must be a member of the Furry Writers’ Guild.
The story must be self-published.
The story must be a novel.
The story must be a stand-alone or first in a series (no sequels).
The story must be furry.
The story cannot have been included in a previous bundle.

The bundles will be available on Gumroad for pay-what-you-want (minimum price of $10), with proceeds split evenly between all contributing authors and the FWG. Please get your entries in before September 26th, since we want the bundle to go live on October 1st. We would like to include around ten novels per bundle. Since we want to showcase as wide a variety of writers as possible, we are more likely to choose submissions by authors who have not been featured in a previous bundle.

To submit your book, use this link: https://forms.gle/6efvMSDVQTVpvqGu8

We’ll also be revving up for the Furry Novel Jam in October, for those of us who need a way to help reach our writing goals. Furry Novel Jam goes year-round for those who want to participate, though! You can find out more on the FWG Discord and join in. I took the opportunity of a new month to start my own daily writing goal yesterday. Only 400 words, but it’s progress! I hope your writing is going well too.

Here are the current open markets for your short stories:
Plott Hound – Deadline September 15, 2025
Indecent Exposure – Deadline December 22, 2025
This Is Halloween – Deadline When Full
Children Of The Night – Deadline When Full

Please also check out the latest book releases from our members:
Meeting Dominique, by Royce Day, Released May 1, 2025.

Happy writing!

Looking ahead to Furry Book Month

~ Mercyful Kate ~ 1 Comment

October is Furry Book Month, and we’re only a few weeks away! We have a few fun things going on next month to celebrate, including another book bundle!

We are taking submissions for both a general audiences and an 18+ book bundle until Sept. 26, 2024. To submit your novel for consideration, please keep the following qualifications in mind:

The author must be a member of the Furry Writers’ Guild.
The story must be self-published.
The story must be a novel.
The story must be a stand-alone or first in a series (no sequels).
The story must be furry.
The story cannot have been included in a previous bundle.

The bundles will be available on Gumroad for pay-what-you-want (minimum price of $10), with proceeds split evenly between all contributing authors and the FWG. Please get your entries in before September 26th, since we want the bundle to go live on October 1st. We would like to include around ten novels per bundle.

In other Furry Book Month news, it’s time to sharpen your typing claws because we’re launching the first Furry Novel Jam! This is similar to the November novel writing challenge that most of us have heard of. Instead of November, we’ll be writing throughout October–hopefully without as many distractions from holidays, school deadlines, etc.

The rules are pretty simple. Set a writing goal for October, and on Oct. 1, start! You can cheer on your fellow writers on the Discord server, arrange word sprints and mini competitions, and basically just have fun. It’s easy to lose the joy of writing amid the pressures we put on ourselves, and it can also be hard to make time to write. Sometimes turning the solitary, cerebral practice of writing into a ridiculous race with a bunch of likeminded people can help you regain both joy and discipline.

My planned novella is outlined (uh, mostly). What are you planning to write?
