Ward Moore

Born in 1903 and active across several decades of American magazine and book publishing, Ward Moore became known as a writer of science fiction, fantasy, and speculative satire. He is especially remembered for Bring the Jubilee, a landmark alternate-history novel that imagines a world shaped by a Confederate victory in the American Civil War.

He also wrote Greener Than You Think, a darkly comic catastrophe novel, and collaborated on other speculative fiction projects. Across his work, readers often find unusual premises, social criticism, and a thoughtful interest in how history might have turned out differently.

Moore died in 1978, but his fiction continues to stand out for its intelligence and originality. For listeners who enjoy classic speculative fiction with bold concepts and a literary edge, his books remain rewarding to discover.
