Her first non-fiction book, The Fictional Woman was published in June 2014, became a #1 bestselling non-fiction book, and is listed by The Sydney Morning Herald as a "must-read". The book has received critical acclaim, with Dr Clare Wright writing, 'Moss is a serious thinker.'

Her writing has appeared in Ms Magazine, Crime Reads, the Australian Literary Review, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Sun-Herald, The Daily Telegraph, TheHoopla and more.

She is known for her novel research, which has included touring the FBI and LAPD, shooting firearms, being set on fire, being choked unconscious by Ultimate Fighter 'Big' John McCarthy, flying with the Royal Australian Air Force, spending time in morgues and courtrooms and obtaining a licence as a private investigator. She has also been a race car driver (CAMS), and holds a motorcycle licence and wildlife/snake-handling licence. In 2014 she was recognised for Outstanding Advocacy for her blog Manus Island: An insider’s report, which helped to break information to the public about the events surrounding the alleged murder of Reza Barati inside the Australian-run Manus Island Immigration Detention Centre.

Moss hosts and acted as executive producer and writer of Cyberhate with Tara Moss on the ABC in 2017, hosted two seasons of the true crime television series Tough Nuts – Australia's Hardest Criminals on the Crime & Investigation Network, and Tara Moss in Conversation on the 13th Street channel.

Model and author Tara Moss reveals she was forced to take a polygraph test to prove she was writing her own books

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 17, 2024
Tara Moss has recalled how she was forced to take a lie detection test to prove she was the writer of her successful novels. The Canadian-Australian author and model, 50, appeared on the Life Uncut podcast and explained that when her first book was published, people refused to believe she wrote it given her career in modelling - stereotyping her, and other models, as less intelligent. 'I ended up being dared to take a polygraph test to prove that I write my own books,' she told hosts Laura Byrne and Brittany Hockley.

Tara Moss has had an amazing time after suffering from a chronic pain disorder. The model-turned-author, 49, posted a video montage of herself on her road to recovery on Instagram over the weekend. Before the clip shows her walking up stairs and into a mirror unassisted, Moss, who suffers from Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), is shown undergoing various types of therapy, including foot spas, physiotherapy, and body work.

Dr. Chris Coghill's medical malpractice case against Tara Moss is over

A Blue Mountains doctor failed to recognize a hip injury, resulting in physical disability, psychological, and chronic pain, according to the best-selling author. Dr. Chris Coghill, a GP with more than 20 years of experience, denied any responsibility and said he performed competently and professionally at all times. Moss (left and right) had been scheduled to face Dr Coghill in a Supreme Court hearing in Sydney, but Daily Mail Australia has learned that the case was cancelled earlier this month. Moss, who uses Instagram to destigmatise the use of mobility aids such as walking sticks, often posts photos of herself in a wheelchair.
