Frequently Asked Questions

Who Are You?

I'm Mariah Tyler Moore: author, lyricist, independent journalist, and CEO of Radical Resilience, LLC.

Writing is what I do for a living, and it's what I've done since I was a kid. My first official publication was at age 12, when I started writing for The Sanpete Messenger in Utah. I continued writing for the paper until I was about 14, then wrote for the Tremonton Leader from ages 16 to 18. Today, I've come full circle. I'm back working writing for my community while also building my career as a multi-genre author and lyricist.

I write across genres because life doesn't fit into neat categories. My novels span contemporary romance, dark fantasy, science fiction, and self-help, all connected by a single thread: the belief that our wounds are not our weaknesses, but our wisdom.

As a neurodivergent woman with multiple chronic illnesses, I don't write about resilience from the sidelines. I write from the trenches. Every story I tell is rooted in the truth that the things society often sees as weaknesses are, in fact, our greatest strengths.

What is Radical Resilience?

Radical Resilience is my battle-tested philosophy for a messy, magnificent life. It's the brand philosophy that connects every novel, song, and blog post I create. More than that, it's the personal survival mechanism I developed to get through a life of significant adversity.

At its core, Radical Resilience is built on the idea of the Wounded Healer: your scars are your superpower, and your history doesn't make you damaged goods. It makes you a warrior. It's also about Authentic Self-Expression, the daily, gritty practice of letting go of who you think you're supposed to be and daring to embrace who you actually are. And it's about Found Family, the people who earn their place in your life through loyalty and love, not just blood. When the world's systems fail you, the ultimate expression of resilience is to build a better one, and you do that by forging your tribe.

What is Radical Resilience, LLC?

Radical Resilience, LLC is a single-member limited liability company that I own and operate. It's the professional home for everything I create.

Under this company, two distinct brands operate. Radical Resilience is the service and education brand (workshops, speaking engagements, and professional development). The Moore Universe is the creative content brand, housing all my literary and artistic work, thematically linked by the core principles of turning wounds into wisdom.

What is The Moore Universe?

The Moore Universe is the creative content brand that houses all my literary and artistic work. Every story I tell, across every genre, is connected by the philosophy of Radical Resilience: the power of turning wounds into wisdom, scars into superpowers, and adversity into authenticity.

Music

I've written lyrics for over 130 songs, available on Spotify, Apple Music, and all major streaming platforms. My music brings the philosophy of Radical Resilience to another medium: anthems of defiance, grief, healing, and finding your tribe.

Where Can I Purchase Your Work?

You can purchase signed copies and merchandise directly through my official store: https://pci.jotform.com/form/252765693142160

My fiction novels have been acquired by the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District, and they've even purchased additional copies since the initial acquisition. You can also find my books at select independent bookstores in Las Vegas and throughout the West Coast.

What is Your Creative Process?

My creative process is a real-life example of Radical Resilience in action. I live with disabilities like POTS and a tremor that make traditional writing (sitting at a keyboard for hours) a painful, sometimes impossible, endurance test. So I built my own operating system.

I use voice notes to capture ideas when my hands won't cooperate. Mind-mapping software helps me organize the chaos. Speech-to-text gets words onto the page when typing is too painful. I have an AI read my drafts back to me so I can edit with my ears instead of my eyes. Then my friends and family give me their honest, human feedback.

Every single word is mine. The tools are just that: tools. A warrior uses every weapon in her arsenal.

Where Can I Find You on Social Media?

I'm dipping my toes back into Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram. You can mostly find me under @mariahtylermooreauthor or Mariah Tyler Moore, Author & Lyricist.

I stepped away from social media for a while to protect my peace. Setting that boundary was one of the most powerful acts of self-preservation I've ever made. Now I'm returning on my own terms, in my own way.

Do You Help Other Authors Publish Their Books?

I do. Through Radical Resilience, LLC, I offer freelance author services to writers who want to self-publish but don't want to wrestle with the technical and logistical side alone. I've published eight novels through Amazon KDP with five more coming, so I know the process inside and out, and I know how overwhelming it feels when all you want is for your book to exist in the world.

I'm a service provider, not a publisher. That means you keep everything: your copyright, your royalties, your accounts. I don't take a cut of your sales or put my name on your book. You hire me, I do the work, you pay a flat fee, and your book is entirely yours.

What Services Do You Offer?

It depends on what you need. I offer editing (developmental, line, copy, and proofreading), ebook and print formatting (including specialized formatting for poetry collections), Amazon KDP setup and upload guidance, ISBN consultation, cover design coordination, author profile setup (BookBub, Amazon Author Central), author website creation, and social media marketing strategy.

We build a custom scope of work based on where you are in the process. Some authors come to me with a polished manuscript and just need formatting. Others need everything from editing to marketing. I meet you where you are.

How Much Does It Cost?

Pricing depends on the length of your manuscript, the complexity of your project, and which services you need. After you fill out my intake form, I put together a custom quote with a detailed breakdown so you know exactly what you're paying for. No surprises, no hidden fees. Payment plans are available.

Can You Work With Authors Outside the US?

Absolutely. I work with authors internationally and can invoice in multiple currencies. Being in a different country doesn't change anything about the process or the quality of service.

How Do I Get Started?

Fill out my Author Services Intake Form: https://forms.gle/cF4d3Ydahk2LHfPf6

Once you notify me that you've filled out the form, I will review your answers. Then I'll follow up with any questions and send you a custom proposal. No commitment until you say yes.

How Can I Contact You?

You can find me at www.mariahtylermoore.com or reach out directly at mariah@radicallymoore.com.

If you've made it this far, you're already part of my Found Family. Welcome.
