How to Create a Voice Profile So Robin Matches Your Writing Style

Voice profiles are the heart of how Robin works with you. They capture your unique writing style so every suggestion, edit, and proofread sounds like you, not a generic AI.

The most important thing you can do

Take the time to fill out your voice profile thoroughly. The richer your profile (with detailed style descriptions and writing samples), the better Robin preserves your voice. This is the single biggest thing you can do to get great results from Robin.

How do I make Robin match my writing style?​

A voice profile describes how you write -- tone, point of view, pacing, and perception. Create one, add writing samples, and assign it to your book. Robin then uses this profile to match your unique voice in every suggestion, edit, and proofread.

  • Match your style in every suggestion and edit
  • Keep feedback consistent across chapters and books
  • Respect your creative choices instead of imposing generic rules

Without a voice profile, Robin gives generic suggestions. With a well-crafted one, they become a collaborator who truly understands your writing.

Creating a Voice Profile​

  1. In Write, open the Tools menu and choose Voices to open your Voice Library
  2. Click Add Voice (or Create Your First Voice if you have none yet) and fill in Name (e.g., "Literary Fiction" or "Thriller")
  3. Add details about your style in Description, Target Audience / Reading Age, Style, and Tone: your tone, POV, pacing, and how you want readers to perceive the narrative
  4. Click Create Voice

You can create multiple profiles for different genres or projects. The free plan includes one voice, Premium includes three, and higher plans have no limit.

Adding Writing Samples​

Under Writing Samples, paste or type samples of your writing, give each one a Category (such as Narrative Prose or Dialogue-Heavy), and add it to the voice. A voice needs 3 to 20 samples, and about 5,000 words in total gives Robin enough to work with. Robin looks at:

  • Word choice: Vocabulary and phrasing
  • Sentence structure: Length, rhythm, and complexity
  • Tone: Formal, casual, lyrical, spare, etc.
  • Pacing: How quickly or slowly the story moves
Add your writing as it naturally comes out

The best samples are raw, unpolished drafts, not text you've revised into something clean. Robin needs to see how you actually write: your instincts, your quirks, your natural rhythms. Over-polished samples flatten out the very things that make your voice distinctive. First drafts, journal entries, or unrevised chapters all work well.

More samples lead to a stronger profile, but authenticity matters more than quantity.

What Robin Pays Attention To​

Robin reads your details and samples for:

  • Tone: The emotional quality of your prose
  • POV: First person, third person, etc., and how you handle perspective
  • Pacing: How you control rhythm and tension
  • Perception: How you want readers to experience the story

This analysis guides Robin when they suggest edits, proofreading changes, or chat responses.

Assigning Voice Profiles to Books​

Open your book's settings, choose a voice in the Narrative Voice dropdown (or click New Voice to make one), and save. Everything Robin does for that book then uses it:

  • Chat with Robin: Answers and feedback align with your style
  • Editing with Robin: Edits match your voice
  • Proofreading with Robin: Suggestions respect your choices

You can change the assigned profile at any time, or set Narrative Voice to None to remove it.

How Robin Uses Your Voice​

When a voice profile is assigned, Robin:

  • Suggests edits that fit your tone and pacing
  • Proofreads with your style in mind
  • Answers chat questions in a way that supports your approach

The result is feedback that feels tailored to you instead of generic.
