Liz Moore, the acclaimed author behind bestsellers like "Long Bright River" and "The God of the Woods," is working on her next novel. The exact details remain under wraps for now.
In an NPR interview, Moore expressed her approach to sharing information about her new book, stating that she typically only confides in her agent or editor before completion. This restraint is said to prevent her from losing momentum and to maintain a level of secrecy until the manuscript is fully polished.
While discussing her past works, Moore revealed some interesting insights into her writing process. For example, "The God of the Woods" was initially titled "Self-Reliance," which she had initially adopted due to its connection with the novel's Adirondacks setting and themes of class dynamics. However, after receiving feedback from her publisher, she abandoned this title and opted for something more suitable.
Moore drew inspiration for "Long Bright River" during her time in Philadelphia's Kensington neighborhood, where she spent hours discussing life stories with residents while accompanying photographer Jeffrey Stockbridge on a series of interviews. This experience later informed the novel's exploration of class dynamics and resource disparities in the community.
When asked about the adaptation of "Long Bright River" for Peacock, Moore admitted that filming in New York was not ideal but expressed hope to feature her future work in Philadelphia, her adopted hometown. Additionally, she opened up about her past as a recording artist, releasing an album called "Backyards" in 2007.
Despite keeping details under wraps regarding her upcoming novel, fans can expect another thought-provoking and engaging story from Liz Moore, based on her proven track record of writing compelling narratives that capture the complexities of human experience.

I love how Liz Moore is being super tight-lipped about her new book 
but at the same time, she's giving us these fascinating glimpses into her creative process 
like that tidbit about "Long Bright River" being inspired by her time in Philly - it's amazing how experiences from our past can shape our stories in such profound ways 
I'm definitely hyped for whatever she's working on next, and I think fans will be too 
... but honestly, it's kinda cool that Liz Moore is keeping it under wraps about her new novel - builds anticipation, you know? 
"Backyards" sounds like a dope concept for a book or movie... maybe she'll finally reveal the title and we can get a sneak peek at the plot 
... one thing's for sure, Liz Moore is def bringing that authentic Philly vibe to her writing - love it! 
! I love how she keeps things secretive until the last minute, it's like a little teaser to build up anticipation 
. And can we talk about how inspiring it is that she shares all this behind-the-scenes info about her writing process? Like, who knew "The God of the Woods" was originally titled "Self-Reliance"? That title change alone gives me life 
. I'm also curious to see if she'll bring some of that Philadelphia magic to her next book - Philly will always have a special place in my heart 
.
! I love how she keeps her creative process all to herself, it's like she's protecting a secret recipe 
️. Her approach is actually pretty relatable, I've been there when I was working on my own writing projects and didn't want to jinx the whole thing by sharing too much too soon 
.
. Fingers crossed that future projects will feature more of her beloved city!
That's so cool! It's like she has this whole other creative side that not many people get to see 
i loved her writing style in "long bright river" - she has this way of making you feel like your in the community with her characters 
and now shes working on another one 
and I'm super curious about how she approaches writing now... did she find any new inspiration since Philly? 
... I mean, who doesn't love a good mystery? but seriously, it makes sense for Liz to keep her details under wraps, especially after seeing how her past books have resonated with readers 
. and btw, it's awesome that she's drawing inspiration from Philadelphia again - her hometown should always be represented in the arts 
I mean, have you read "The God of the Woods" yet? The way she weaves together themes of class dynamics and resource disparities in "Long Bright River" is so thought-provoking... I'm sure this new novel will be just as impactful. And can we talk about how talented she was before becoming a full-time author? Her album "Backyards" is still on repeat in my playlist 
... but can't we just have a little teaser or something? 
... and honestly, even if she does release the book without giving us any hints, it'll still probably turn out amazing because that's just who she is as an author 
... on the other hand, maybe she should've considered a title change for "The God of the Woods" 
... and don't even get me started on filming in New York vs Philly... if it was me, i'd wanna stick to where her heart is 
. I'm also loving the fact that she's keeping it under wraps for now, gotta keep us waiting, right?
