Her other novels include The Words of Every Song (Random House, 2007); Heft (W.W. Norton, 2012); and The Unseen World (W.W. Norton, 2016). Moore's short fiction and creative nonfiction have appeared in venues such as Tin House, The New York Times, and The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Moore’s books have appeared on the “Best of the Year” lists of venues such as The New Yorker, NPR, Goodreads, and The Washington Post. Her novels have been published in more than twenty-five foreign territories to date.
Her next novel is forthcoming from Riverhead in 2024, and a limited series adaptation of Long Bright River, co-written by Moore, is currently greenlit for production by Peacock. Moore lives with her family in Philadelphia.
