THE INKUBATOR - Book Publishers is a company established for the purpose of assisting
independent writers of fiction in South Africa. We grant the struggling author the means to self
publish his/her work at a most affordable rate.
Show profile Hide profileGary Kuyper began his professional literary career writing self-help and general interest articles for Daan Retief Publishers who produced a monthly book for their woman's club called Woman's Forum. These articles would sometimes require research and had titles as diverse as The Human Brain and Body Painting!
Being a professional photographer on a part-time basis Gary has also managed to have his articles on photography (With accompanying photographs) published in books and magazines.
Over the past four years he has constantly managed to be one of the top finalists in the Nova Short Story Competition (A competition for budding writers of science fiction and/or fantasy).
Last year (2009) Gary had the pleasure of seeing The Devil's Little Tadpoles grace the pages of the local SF & Fantasy Fanzine Probe.
He is an avid film buff and amateur film maker. A few years ago he managed to take first prize in the SA Ten Best Film Makers Competition with a short film entitled The Crimson Cobra.
He is a qualified prosthetics make-up artist and has used this talent on both amateur and professional productions. He has also appeared on television in a youth program especially made for enlightening people in the art of special effects make-up.
In 2008 he entered the SF / Fantasy Mini Radio Play Competition and took first prize with his The Adventures of Captain Max Power of the Intergalactic Police - an obvious homage to the early Flash Gordon radio series'.
All his literary and photojournalistic accomplishments have been done on a part-time basis due to the fact that his full time career is lecturing mathematics as well as engineering science at a Technical College. Although this is a most fulfilling profession, it has long been Gary's ideal to become a full-time writer.
