But his emergence as a writer of major stature did not occur until 1965, with the publication of Dune. In 1952, Herbert began publishing science fiction with “Looking for Something?” in Startling Stories. He worked a wide variety of jobs-including TV cameraman, radio commentator, oyster diver, jungle survival instructor, lay analyst, creative writing teacher, reporter and editor of several West Coast newspapers-before becoming a full-time writer. He was born in Tacoma, Washington, and educated at the University of Washington, Seattle.
