FWG Newsletter November 2025
Original post written by mercyfulkate
I hope everyone had a great Furry Book Month! It’s over for another year and now we’re heading into the holidays with frightening speed.
Thanks to everyone who picked up this year’s Furry Book Bundle. We had our best year of sales yet, which helps both the guild and all the authors involved. All the money will be divided evenly among the authors, with the guild getting a share too. Authors, we’ll try to get your payments sent before December.
If you’ve been writing a lot lately and finding your energy flagging, take a break and read a book or stories written by other authors. Reading is a great remedy for burnout and stress. It helps refill your creative well! *points at all the great new books available below* If you’ve been reading a lot instead of writing, maybe it’s time to open your work-in-progress file.
I’m the last person to discover anything new, so I only just saw K-Pop Demon Hunters yesterday. I’ve been dancing around all day to the soundtrack, another stress reliever. These days we have to take joy where we can.
Here are the current open markets for your short stories:

And They Can Talk To Her
Original post written by rodney
Good news for Sixteen South, an independent animation studio in Northern Ireland: Their CGI mystery/comedy series The Retrievers won the MIP-Junior Pitch competition this year, something that major international distributors of course pay attention to. Here’s the rundown of the show: “The series is about an extraordinary girl and her loyal dog as they tackle the most strange crimes in the city of Paris with an unusual bunch of stray animals. On her 11th birthday, she discovered she had the ability to understand and talk to animals, and that includes her police dog, Otis. This blew her mind because it would be really useful for Otis. There have been so many crimes in the city of Paris that have been going unsolved and now the dog thinks, finally, he can communicate with a human being and this might be the key to unlocking some of them.” Now we’ll see where they get to take it from here. (And oh yes: Happy Halloween!)

HUGE thank you to helping us achieve over $21,000 in donations for our 21st birthday! You really helped make our weekend an amazing one.
We’d love to thank everyone who donated, bought raffle tickets, participated in the auction, or tipped at the bar — every little bit is what adds up and makes a difference in the lives of animals here in Pittsburgh.
As a special bonus, one of the cats visiting this weekend got adopted!! HOORAY.
