Hiltrud K S.

Your ideas deserve a voice that sounds unmistakably human. I am Hillu Littlehales, a bilingual ghostwriter and translator based in the UK. Book editing and development are a large part of my work. I bring more than 25 years of professional experience to every assignment. My Upwork record includes $40K+ in earnings and a 100% Job Success Score. Every client rating has been five stars. I have created multiple Amazon bestsellers for clients, and bestselling author Brian Tracy has personally endorsed my work. Ghostwriting and book development I work mainly with nonfiction. Business books, self-help, memoir and expert-led content are my core areas. I can begin with an early idea or an existing draft. Interview-led projects are welcome. Depending on the assignment, I develop the positioning and structure before writing or revising the manuscript. Editing and humanising AI-assisted drafts A draft may contain strong ideas and still sound flat or generic. I improve voice and pacing while removing repetition. Structural problems and factual inconsistencies are addressed separately. The result should sound like the author, not like a template. Translation and localisation I translate from English into German and adapt the text for German-speaking readers. My experience covers books and business content, along with video scripts and corporate communication. The result is natural German that respects the purpose and tone of the original. Human first. AI capable when appropriate. I am comfortable with a fully human workflow. If a client wants AI-assisted production, I can also work safely and efficiently within that process. AI may support organisation or consistency checks, but it never replaces editorial judgement. I personally shape every deliverable and carry out the final review. Raw AI output is never sent to a client. Confidentiality is a given. I work under strict NDAs and can provide suitable samples whenever client privacy allows it. Tell me what you are building and where the draft currently stands. I will recommend the most useful next step and give you a realistic turnaround.
