Helping clients produce creative,
elegant, clear, and vigorous writing.
Hauk Eye Editing applies the most exacting standards
to cleaning up, polishing, and buffing the language.
———————
With more than forty years of experience in writing, editing, public speaking, and teaching, I have made my life’s calling the perfection of language on paper—and, now, in pixels on computer screens. From students to web designers, nonprofit leaders, researchers, administrators, and people writing for audiences for the first time, I have helped improve their craft.
My master’s degree in English and PhD in humanities add to a broad knowledge of history, literature, sociology, psychology, religion, and current world and national news. I am continually learning and enjoy what I learn from editing other people’s work.
I have edited book-length manuscripts on history, medicine, law, religion, public health, education, company histories, and family histories.
Presses for which I have edited manuscripts include Cambridge University Press, Oxford University Press, Beacon Press, University of Georgia Press, Bookhouse, and Secant Publishing.
My writing has appeared in magazines, journals, book chapters, and books.
I have crafted speeches and op-eds for leaders in business, education, and religion.
A passion for grammar, rhetoric, and the best word for the meaning.
More than forty years of editing, speechwriting, ghostwriting, public speaking, and teaching people how to write more clearly and powerfully.

Endorsements
“Gary Hauk is simply the very best editor I have encountered in forty plus years of publishing. Without ever imposing his own style, he can make a rough text plain and a clean text pristine. He can help you break your writer’s blocks, build your arguments, streamline your texts, fix your footnotes, and meet your deadlines. He can handle everything from a short op-ed to a multiauthored anthology to a mammoth monograph. Gary is punctual, efficient, honest, and discrete—a consummate professional. His editing will spare you many hours of production time and many barbs from hostile reviewers.”
— John Witte, Jr., Woodruff Professor of Law, Emory University, and award-winning author or editor of more than forty books, including Religion and the American Constitutional Experiment (Oxford University Press) and Family Transformed: Religion, Values, and Society in American Life (Georgetown University Press)
“Gary’s editorial assistance was indispensable. Not only did he translate my often-fuzzy thoughts and ideas into stellar prose, he did so quickly and efficiently. Each transformed draft chapter inspired more writing and kept me moving forward. With Gary’s encouragement and speedy turnaround, the book manuscript made it to the finish line on a tight deadline. My publisher was very pleased!”
— Polly J. Price, author of Plagues in the Nation: How Epidemics Shaped America (Beacon Press)
