Get Free Books & Help Build the Moore Universe
Listen, I'm going to be real with you: I need your help.
Not the "please validate my existence" kind of help. The "let's build something together" kind.
I'm Mariah Tyler Moore: author of eight novels spanning grimdark fantasy, contemporary romance, science fiction, zombie apocalypse chaos, and self-help that doesn't suck. I've written over 124 songs. I've hit #1 on Amazon. My books are in the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District. And I'm just getting started.
But here's the thing about being an indie author: reviews are oxygen. They help readers find my books. They help my books show up in searches. They help build the Found Family I'm trying to create.
That's where you come in.

WHAT I NEED FROM YOU
This is a partnership, not a transaction. Here's what being on my ARC team looks like:
✅ Read the book (or at least give it your best shot. Life happens, I get it)
✅ Post an honest review within 4 weeks of receiving your PDF on:
- Amazon
- Goodreads
- BookBub
- Your blog/Instagram/TikTok
- Wherever you hang out online
✅ Be genuinely honest. Three stars with constructive feedback > five stars of bullshit. I'm a neurodivergent woman with chronic illness who's been through some stuff. I can handle the truth. What I can't handle is inauthenticity.
✅ Optional but appreciated:
- Share on social media if you loved it
- Recommend to your book club
- Tell your Found Family about it
ARC READERS vs. BETA READERS
(Know the Difference)
ARC Readers (That's You!):
- Receive already published books in PDF format
- Focus on reading and reviewing to help boost visibility
- Help spread the word about the Moore Universe
- No developmental feedback needed, just your honest reader experience
Beta Readers:
- Receive unpublished manuscripts before they're finalized
- Provide feedback on plot, characters, pacing, worldbuilding
- Help shape the book before it goes live
- Catch plot holes and continuity issues
Interested in beta reading instead? You can indicate that on the sign-up form, or email me at mooremariaht@gmail.com with "Beta Reader" in the subject line.
THE MOORE UNIVERSE: WHAT TIES IT ALL TOGETHER
Every book I write, no matter the genre, explores the same core themes:
🌙 The Wounded Healer: Our deepest struggles become our greatest sources of strength
🌙 Authentic Self-Expression: Showing up as your whole, messy, magnificent self
🌙 Found Family: The people who earn their place in your life through loyalty and love, not blood
🌙 Neurodivergence as Superpower: The things society sees as weaknesses are actually our greatest strengths
🌙 Radical Resilience: Building something beautiful from the wreckage
If these themes resonate with you, you're already part of my Found Family. Welcome home.

FAQ
(Because You Probably Have Questions)
Q: How often will I receive books? A: As new books are published or when I need review support for existing titles. I publish across multiple genres, so there's always something new cooking.
Q: What if I don't finish within 4 weeks? A: Life happens. Just shoot me an email and let me know. Communication is key. I'd rather know you're struggling than wonder what happened.
Q: Can I request specific titles? A: Absolutely! The sign-up form lets you pick exactly which books you want.
Q: What format will I receive? A: PDF e-copies via email. If you need a different format (epub, mobi), let me know and I'll see what I can do.
Q: What if I want to beta read manuscripts instead? A: You can indicate your interest on the sign-up form, or email me at mooremariaht@gmail.com with "Beta Reader" in the subject line.
Q: Do I have to love every book? A: Hell no. I want your honest opinion. If something didn't work for you, say so. That's valuable feedback for other readers.
A FINAL NOTE FROM ME
Thank you for even considering this. Seriously.
As a neurodivergent woman navigating the world 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.
Your support, your reviews, your honest feedback, your willingness to take a chance on my weird, genre-defying books... means everything.
If you've made it this far, you're already part of my Found Family.
Welcome.
