From 1993 through 2006, writer-editor O’Neil De Noux taught creative writing classes at a number of Louisiana Universities – Tulane, University of New Orleans, McNeese State and Delgado Community College. He taught fiction writing, novel writing, short story writing, mystery writing and science-fiction writing. A number of his former students have become professional writers, one winning a national writing award. They deserve the credit – they did the work. However, Mr. De Noux was happy to have helped.
For the last seventeen years, former students and their friends and a great number of new writers have beseeched De Noux to send them copies of his notes and lesson plans. Frankly, he got tired of Xeroxing the stuff so he put together this short, yet comprehensive guide to writing and selling fiction to distribute to a wider audience and make a buck doing so. So here it is, lessons put in simple terms.
Hope it helps.
A SHORT GUIDE TO WRITING AND SELLING FICTION illustrates how to write a novel, a short story, with lessons on opening lines, characters, conflict, plot, titles, theme, point of view, person, setting, dialogue, how to show a story and not tell a story, structural devices, outlines, critiquing, and the professionals of selling stories and novels.
O’Neil De Noux writes in many genres, primarily realistic crime fiction, strong on setting, mostly New Orleans, featuring the accurate dialogue of the streets. He also writes scintillating erotica and science fiction adventure stories. His publishing credits include seven novels, five short story collections and over 300 short story sales.
From contemporary to historical, De Noux uses several recurring characters in his New Orleans stories and novels NOPD Homicide Detective John Raven Beau (21st Century); NOPD Homicide Detective LaStanza (20th Century); Private-eye Lucien Caye (1940s) and NOPD Detective Jacques Dugas (1890s).
A primary theme in De Noux’s fiction is the effect of violence on victims and their families as well as the sometimes debilitating effect of violence on law enforcement officers, private-eyes and their loved ones. As a former private-eye and currently a police investigator, De Noux knows his subject well.
De Noux’s stories span from mystery to mainstream, literary, suspense, thriller, science-fiction, fantasy, horror, erotica, humor, westerns, children’s fiction as well as cross-genre stories – erotic-detective, science-fiction mysteries and the like. His stories have been published in the US, Canada, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, Portugal, Scotland, Sweden and Ukraine. He is the founding editor of two fiction magazines, MYSTERY STREET and NEW ORLEANS STORIES.
O’Neil De Noux’s “The Heart Has Reasons” (Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine, September 2006) won the Private Eye Writers of America’s prestigious SHAMUS AWARD for BEST SHORT STORY 2007. The SHAMUS is given annually to recognize outstanding achievement in private eye fiction.
In 2009, the Short Mystery Fiction Society awarded the Derringer Award for Best Novelette to another Lucien Caye story, “Too Wise” by O’Neil De Noux (which appeared in Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine’s November 2008 Issue). The Derringer Award is given annually to recognize excellence in the mystery short form.
De Noux joined other artists in the art co-op Big Kiss Productions to release SLICK TIME a sexy caper novel, NEW ORLEANS NOCTURNAL is a collection of nine crime stories featuring John Raven Beau. In March 2011, the novel JOHN RAVEN BEAU was named 2011 POLICE BOOK OF THE YEAR by Police-Writers.com, a group that boasts of 1153 state and local law enforcement officials from 485 state and local law enforcement agencies who have written 2504 police books.
In 2012, De Noux published an epic historical novel, BATTLE KISS, a love and war story set during the Battle of New Orleans, along with two crime novels, ENAMORED and BOURBON STREET and a superhero novel MISTIK.

Books of this type tend to contain lots of filler and padding to expand the page count (and the price). Enough already. Like the classic "Elements of Style," De Noux's book gets right to the point and is jam packed with solid information from the perspective of a prolific and accomplished writer. Highly recommended.
