                                       About Us


The bookstore has long been a clubhouse for writers and readers, and that's exactly what we are first: a bookstore. But The Book Forge also follows the tradition of literary discourse by hosting book clubs, writing groups, and novel writing workshops - where at least one member of each of our cohorts is guaranteed a traditional publication offer for their novel.

Located at 3 South Main Street in Orange, Massachusetts and home to Central MA's only publishing house and writing workshop, we're proud to offer a totally unique space that stands apart from other bookstores you might be familiar with.

Tyler Hauth runs The Book Forge and is the chief editor at Book Forge Press, our indie publishing company and one of the area's most prestigious publishers of horror, science fiction, and fantasy. Tyler teaches writing at Emerson College, writes novels and short stories, and leads our writing workshops with a keen eye that helps aspiring authors at all levels by providing an invaluable perspective: that of an editor that's actively acquiring fiction to publish.
