H.K. LITTLEHALES  ·  GHOSTWRITER & LITERARY TRANSLATOR  ·  NON-FICTION ONLY

Your expertise deserves a LinkedIn post a keynote deck a book.

High-end ghostwriting and translation for leaders and experts. Human-led by 25 years of research, leadership and language. Augmented by a writing system nobody else has.

Human-led.
AI-augmented.
Zero apologies.

Most ghostwriters hide the machines. Most AI shops hide the humans. WorldProse puts both on the table: a journalist-turned-executive who has led change from Stuttgart to Shanghai — and a proprietary toolchain that captures your voice with uncanny precision.

You talk. I write. It sounds like you — because it is you.

PROPRIETARY SYSTEM · BUILT BY HAND · WORKS FOR EXACTLY ONE PERSON

The Engine Room

Six years of craft, built by hand into a system no agency can buy. It doesn't replace the writer. It makes one writer unreasonably good.

ENGINE 01 · NEW MANUSCRIPTS

The Ghost Engine

Every book gets its own dedicated knowledge wiki — interviews, research, sources: one living brain. Then up to 40 specialised agents draft, challenge and rewrite until the manuscript stands at 95%. The last 5% — judgment, voice, truth — is me, with you.

BATTLE-TESTED · 3 COMPLETE BOOKS · PAID BY VERY HAPPY CLIENTS

ENGINE 02 · TRANSLATION

The Translation Engine

Seven stages. Dozens of agents. Multiple correction loops. A full manuscript passes through in two to four hours — and comes out speaking your voice in another language. Then the human passes begin.

EN ⇄ DE NATIVE · ALMOST ANY LANGUAGE VIA THE SYSTEM

THE BENCH · FIVE PRECISION TOOLS FOR MANUSCRIPTS THAT ALREADY EXIST

VOICE

TonePrint

Your voice, fingerprinted. Chapters that read like you on your best day — not like “content”.

HOUSE STYLE

HousePrint

When the platform sets the rules. Journal style, publisher style, house style — printed to spec.

POLISH

ProsePolish

Sentence-level shine. Rhythm, imagery, flow — the difference between correct and alive.

STRUCTURE

BluePencil

The structural edit. Argument, order, clarity. Where chapters earn their place.

FINAL PASS

RedPen

The merciless last look. Grammar, facts, consistency. Nothing ships with a smudge.

What I build for you

The whole book

From first conversation to finished manuscript. Ghostwritten in your voice, researched like journalism, managed like a project — by someone who has run €23M programmes. Your book will ship.

Translation

German ⇄ English at native level. And with the system: almost any language your readers speak.

Positioning & outlines

Know what your book is for before a word is written. Positioning papers, market angles, chapter architecture.

Launch material

Book trailers, excerpts, launch copy. Because the book is the beginning, not the end.

No packages. No price list. Every book is scoped in a conversation. Start one →

Proof, not promises

Brian Tracy, on camera, about working with H.K. Littlehales

“Thank you for the wonderful contribution you have made to our books … we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”

Brian Tracy — author of 80+ books

“Every chapter is a goldmine.”

Ghostwriting client, German thought leader

“The final manuscript was 100% my voice, my style.”

Lynn H., author

“Absolutely brilliant insight. Knowledgeable about the craft.”

The human
in the loop

Journalist by training. Executive by escalation. Writer by calling. I studied comparative literature at Tübingen, won one of two national scholarships to Sweden, and learned storytelling in a newsroom.

Then business happened: a decade in China and twenty-five years leading organisational change and communication for global corporations — translating complex ideas into language that moves people to act. Certified systemic coach. Certified process specialist. Fluent in boardroom.

In 2020 I traded the boardroom for the manuscript. Since then I've written and translated books for experts on three continents — and built the writing system that makes WorldProse possible.
