We came across this book while Christmas shopping! And it’s really unique… “Part epic picture book, part graphic novel, The Five Wolves defies genres. With intricate ink work and meticulous hand-lettering, Peter McCarty has crafted a dazzling reading experience. The Five Wolves is an entrancing journey and a testament to the power of art and artists. Across oceans, through fields, and down tunnels, five daring wolves traverse the planet in search of wonders to draw and paint. All the while, a disembodied narrator spins the tale of their absurdist adventure and asks big questions. What is art? And who does it belong to?” Find out more (and see a preview) over at MacMillan Publishers. [Have a happy and safe New Year, everyone, and all the best in 2026 — Ye Ed-Otter.]

Oh man, 2025 surely has been a year. But, a lot of critters from the furry fandom has been doing their otterly best to make this world a better place. Some events with charities are known far and wide like our virtual friends from Furality raising over $100,000 dollars for the Center, or the various teams raising money for ALS in honour of Dogbomb. However there are so many more, from Chile to Taiwan, from South Africa to Belgium. Together with a small team of diggers and critters who submitted charities we ventured all over the world to check them out, resulting in this years’ Furry Charity Index.

Before we start venturing all over the world, let’s start with a few numbers I kept on being asked for. What kind of causes do we as a fandom support? We have a couple of main categories:

• 15.09% went to LGBTQ related charities
• 29.07% went to humanitarian efforts
• 55.84% went to animal welfare charities

And the final numbers with the difference from last year I will share with you after this wonderful list. Together with the people who made all of this possible. But for now, come travel with us!

As 2025 comes to a swift end and we all collectively boot its butt out the door, and good riddance, it’s time to greet 2026. One big change for the guild is that I (Kate) will be stepping down as president! Gabe Foxx is taking my place, and if that doesn’t merit everyone in the world shooting off fireworks in celebration, I don’t know what does.

In other words, while I’ve been happy to serve as president for the last year-and-a-bit, after that and three years as vice president, I’m ready to pass the baton. Gabe is full of ideas and has a great team to help her out–me included, but quietly in the background from now on. I’m excited to see what this new chapter in the guild’s history has in store.

But that’s not what I’m here to talk about.

Both our previous president, JFR Coates, and our incoming president, Gabe Foxx, are publishers as well as writers. I wanted to use my goodbye post as a way to highlight both publishing houses. Both are new and are bringing some exciting new angles to the world of furry publishing!

Jaye has been selling furry books at conventions for many years. Across all this time, one thing has become consistent. She has always been asked for more books with a lesbian or trans focus. This was a gap in the furry market which had not received enough focus compared to the demand, certainly in Australia.

Transcendent Fiction Publishing was the result of those constant requests.

While the content of the books may vary, TF Publishing intends to provide a dedicated space for female and trans authors and artists so that their work can flourish. While female focused authors and books have thrived at some of the other publishers, the feedback from readers was that these were often drowned out by the gay and male focused books. By providing a dedicated space, TF Publishing hopes to bring new and unique voices to the furry fiction ecosystem, and beyond.

2025 was the launch for TF Publishing. There are many exciting titles expected to come throughout 2026.
TF Publishing can be found on Bluesky at @tfpublishing.bsky.social, with books available from their website at www.tfpublishing.com.au

Hey there! Gabe Foxx here. Kate told me I should write a bit about my house, so here I am – although you can expect to see a post of my own covering the exchange of presidency soon!

Set to debut with the coming year, Doppelfoxx Publishing is the fandom’s first globally-focused furry publishing and distribution house, and aims to bring a modern and electrifying new era to both written content’s place within the fandom, and how business is done amongst its best and brightest. Regardless whether you’re a writer, a comic creator, or an artist by any other calling, we want to be the wind beneath your wings (or fur, rather), and to showcase the community’s raw passion for eyes and hands all around the world to enjoy.

In any case – looking forward to the absolute pleasure of getting to work with you all!

Having more publishers means more opportunities for writers, naturally, and more choices for readers! These are exciting times for sure.

As for me, I’m looking forward to having a little more time to write (and read!). Thanks to everyone who’s helped and encouraged me during my presidency, and thanks to Gabe for stepping up even though she’s busy getting Doppelfoxx Publishing launched. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for the guild and my fellow writers!

Much love,
Kate Shaw (FWG president 2024 – Dec. 31, 2025)
