As an undergraduate at the University of Michigan, moore majored in French literature, and wrote a thesis on French gay pornography.[3][9] He attended graduate school at Yale University, earning a Ph.D. in American studies.[9][10]

In 2018, moore published his first book: Fabulous: The Rise of the Beautiful Eccentric, which includes interviews with queer entertainers, fashion designers, and others about their culture and aesthetics.[7][11][13][14][15] Interviewees include performance artists Alok Vaid-Menon, Pepper Pepper, and Victoria Sin, costume designer Patricia Field, vogue dancer Lasseindra Ninja (fr), and violinist Amadéus Leopold.[8][11][16]
