About the author

Very little confirmed biographical information about G. K. Hawk appears to be available in the sources I found. What can be verified is that the name is associated with the science fiction short story Lost Art, published in If: Worlds of Science Fiction in March 1955.

That story has remained the main reason the name is still noticed today. It has been preserved through projects like Project Gutenberg and listed by speculative-fiction reference sites and audiobook-reading communities, suggesting a small but lasting place in classic magazine science fiction.

Because reliable personal details are scarce, it is best to think of G. K. Hawk as one of those pulp-era writers known more for a surviving story than for a well-documented public life.
