Linn taught English at the University of Chicago for forty years and published many articles, books, and novels during this time. He also frequently contributed to other collected works, compilations, and textbooks. Linn was also heavily involved in the democratic party in Illinois. Before he was a professor, he worked for the Chicago Record.

Linn was married to Mary Howland. The couple had two daughters. Linn died in 1939.
