Career

After graduating, Winn set a goal of writing "a novel a year until I wrote one that was good." Before writing In Memoriam , Winn wrote three unpublished novels, worked on screenplays, and taught homeschooled children.[5]
In 2019, Winn started writing In Memoriam after reading student newspapers published 1913–1919 from her alma mater, Marlborough College.[5] The protagonists, Gaunt and Ellwood, were inspired by her readings of and about Robert Graves and Siegfried Sassoon , respectively.[5]
