Helping writers take back control of their own story

Hazel is a consistent writer who loves to teach; Deanne is a consistent teacher who loves to write.

Together, Hazel and Deanne have created Book Forge, a fellowship group that helps writers take back control of their own story, learn to believe in themselves, and sit in the chair to write the novel..

Team Book Forge

Deanne Adams

Deanne spent fifteen years teaching before pursuing a whole new career as a story coach. The greatest lesson she ever learned was in her teacher training year: that the answer to, ‘What do you teach?’ was not ‘English’. The answer was ‘Children’.

Over twenty years on, her answer to the question, ‘What do you coach?’ is not, ‘Writing stories,’ but ‘Writers’.

Hazel Hitchins

Hazel took the plunge and turned from hobbyist to full-time writer seven years ago and hasn’t looked back, also working with many other writers at varying stages of their creative journey.

She discovered that many found the hardest part about writing was… well, writing – showing up, day after day, and getting words on the page. She and Deanne want to help people like you to do just that.
