I’m Rachyl Moore.

I’m a writer drawn to both the impressions we leave on others and the ones that shape us into who we are. I hope to bridge inner truth with accessibility and show the ripple effects of our choices. My stories explore how every connection we make—to animals, objects, machines, and each other—impacts the world around us.

I’m focused on building a career rooted in speculative science fiction, beginning with an interconnected body of work that traces the tension between systems that orbit us and our internal sense of self.

My debut novel, The Things We Would Bear, is currently in search of representation.

The Things We Would Bear

Rachyl with a Why

Rachyl Moore has always turned to writing as a way of making sense of the world. As a teenager, she began scribbling in the margins of her notebooks and never really stopped, even when her professional path first led her elsewhere. After earning a Master of Occupational Therapy from the University of Florida, she spent nearly a decade working in healthcare, helping patients find independence and resilience in everyday life. Those years, grounded in listening and empathy, continue to shape the themes she explores in her fiction.

When her family grew, she stepped away from full-time healthcare to raise her three children. As life at home brought new challenges, writing became not just a creative outlet but a way of reclaiming the tether that clung to her identity.

Outside of family and writing, she has a passion for long-distance running, often finding clarity in logging miles. She uses running for both clarity and adventure—always looking for a new place to travel to for a race.

Today, Rachyl lives in Florida with her husband and children. She writes speculative science fiction that uses character-driven stories to explore questions about empathy, understanding, and truth.
