while there aren't any sources from ancient roman authors that explicitly talk about the forum you can always look at inscriptions and graffiti as a written source. I have a compiled list of sources in my notes which I am selling for the topic. If you would like more details just let me know.

(these are paraphrased quotes, although you can still use them)
Grant: Eumachia’s building was used at least part of the time as a wool market
De Sanctis: Holitorium: the lack of a way of isolating food from moisture, insects and rodents may mean the holitorium was a market and not a storage area. Its location means it would have been well heated in winter and hot in summer, so vegetable and farm products would have been sold in a single day.
Bradley: Basilica was a lawcourt and exchange for meeting clients and signing contracts
