Florence dedicates her website to helping new authors—offering advice she wishes she had received before she started writing her first book. There she talks about—

• where to begin
• how to promote your book even before it’s written
• building an author platform
• how to spot a scam
• working with editors

She includes topics that will help new authors hone their writing techniques such as—

• developing fully fledged characters
• using back story effectively
• creating dynamic scenes
• active versus passive voice
• the ‘show, don’t tell’ concept
• point of view

And included are many links to other websites that will help authors become better at their craft.
