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 professional byline was at age twelve, when I started writing for my hometown newspaper Today, I've come full circle. I'm back writing for my community as an independent journalist while also building my career as a genre-bending author and lyricist.
I write across genres because my life has never fit into neat categories and my writing shouldn't either. My novels span contemporary romance, dark fantasy, science fiction, small-town literary 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 idea 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 theme 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, professional development, and freelance author services including editing, formatting, KDP setup, web design, and marketing guidance). 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.

Where Can I Purchase Your Work?
You can purchase copies directly through my official Amazon page.
My fiction novels have been acquired by the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District, which has purchased six of my titles with additional copies added since the initial acquisition. The Karen H. Huntsman Library at Snow College has acquired three of my titles. One novel is included in the Indie Nevada BiblioBoard Library collection. 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, gastroparesis, and hEDS, along with a tremor that makes traditional writing (sitting at a keyboard for hours) a painful, sometimes impossible endurance test. So I have to work around those things, using the resources available to me. This requires transparency about how I use AI, because it's part of the operating system I've built and I refuse to be cagey about it. I believe generative AI is being deployed irresponsibly across every industry. I'm now careful about how and when I use any type of AI because of this. What that looks like in practice: Sometimes I write a chapter or a song, then I ask an assistive AI to catch errors, inconsistencies, or continuity issues. This is essentially the work a professional editor or a fresh set of eyes would do if I could afford one. I try to consume as little as possible while doing it. I also often have Speechify read my drafts aloud to me so I can edit with my ears instead of just my eyes, which is a genuinely useful accessibility tool for me.
My understanding of ethical AI use has evolved. I'm not the same person I was a few years ago on this subject. I've taken information literacy and digital ethics courses, and I've done the work to understand where the ethical lines actually are. Every single word in my books and songs belongs to me 100%. I've been writing since I was a tiny tot of a girl, and many of the stories I've recently published have been in the works or fully written for years. AI is a tool that helps me move at the pace this industry now demands. I believe in human art. I own my process, and I also own the parts of my history I've grown past.
Note: I am not a musician. I use the TopMedi subscription software to produce my lyrics into songs.
Where Can I Find You on Social Media?
