FOR THE STORY YOU'VE BEEN HOLDING
The 8-Week Memoir
Bespoke. Not Bullsh*t.
A guided, intimate experience to ink your truth.
Even As An Award-Winning Writer, I Had It All Backwards.
25 years in the publishing world couldn't save me from making all the mistakes I'm about to help you avoid when writing your memoir for mainstream publication.
If you've been carrying a story, but got stuck— it's not you, and it's NOT writer's block. It's a defined process nobody's telling you.
By writing you memoir, you move forward in life with fresh perspective.
My near $25,000 mistake can save you from this publishing disaster.
OK, here's what happened: A NYC editor wanted $25K to edit my memoir to completion, which felt off. I hired and fired five more editors before finally landing on the truth. This insight alone would've saved me thousands of dollars and months of research.
And now I've taken everything—the craft, the process, the industry insight—to guide you through writing and publishing your memoir so you get it right the first time.
WHO AM I?
I'm Robyn Linn—an award-winning journalist turned entrepreneur. I’ve built multi-million dollar brands and helped thousands of clients tell stories they didn't have the courage to share. I wrote for high-gloss magazines, produced my own TV show, and edited for one of the top newspapers in America— yet nothing prepared me for the hardest writing of my life: My memoir.
Now I'm here to help you avoid getting stuck in the wrong publishing process like I did.
WHAT IS THIS?
I’m not here to teach you how to be an "authorpreneur." That comes through the process. We brand you, sure. But my work is to refine your voice so you document your truth—your story—and free yourself from the past (and honor it).
WHO IS THIS FOR?
Anyone ready to document their story.
NOT A WRITER? GOOD!
You don't need to be. The craft—scene, dialogue, structure, I work that WITH you.
HOW DOES THIS WORK?
We work in 1-1 LIVE sessions and private email engagement.
WHAT DO YOU WALK AWAY WITH?
A captivating and provocative manuscript prepped for agent pitch. Not a diary or journal.
Book a call with me to discuss. Limited availability.
I'd love to hear your story. DM me and let's see if I can help you tell it.
Here's the Process
Phase One
The Foundation
We masterpiece your book's outline — the anchor points of the entire manuscript. We write your author bio, draft your three strongest chapters, and define your signature voice and style. From here, we build the book summary, craft an agent-ready proposal, and pitch it to genre-specific agents.
Phase Two
The Complete Manuscript
We write the full draft, 60k words, built on our foundation.
Phase Three
The Revision
Once the right agent is engaged, we move into a deep edit based on the publisher's needs and your audience's interests. You can work with me or my A-List London-based editor for this final phase.
We'll anchor into a solid action plan from day one, tailored specifically to your schedule and pace.
It's not about what happened. It's how you return to the moment and craft it.
4 Memoir Myths
Myth #1: “Write what happened and tell your story.”
Truth 1: Don’t report your life. Write in SCENE. You need visceral, sensory-driven dialogue.
Myth #2: “You need to finish your manuscript.”
Truth 2: You need to first develop a well-crafted writing style (voice) unique to you that illustrates your vision (a storyline) offering a clear narrative arc.
Myth #3: “You need to be a good writer.”
Truth 3: No! You need to touch life with a fresh, organic, descriptive perspective.
Myth #4: “Edit the book before pitching agents."
Truth 4: You don't pitch agents with a 60k word edited manuscript. You need three well-crafted chapters, an outline, an author bio, and a well-pitched book summary. Agents pitch to publishers who then define your angle of revision for completion.
I guide you through the entire process so you don't get lost or give up. This is for those ready to tell your story.
I'm here to help you avoid getting stuck in the wrong writing & publishing process.
Don't Get Stuck In The Wrong Process. Your Story Deserves the Right Path.
