Dan Letchworth – Editor

I'm a freelance copy editor, proofreader, developmental editor, fact checker, and writer with 12 years' professional experience. I've copy edited over 250 books for young readers for Scholastic, Penguin Random House, and Hachette Book Group; developed activity book projects for Klutz; and for nearly five years until COVID-19 closed our offices, I was the copy chief of San Diego Magazine, where I edited all editorial content and wrote two regular columns.
My high-profile young adult work includes proofreading on the first two books of the Hunger Games series, continuity editing on the library binding editions of all seven Harry Potter books, copy editing on the 2011 re-releases of Animorphs #1–8, copy editing on the American paperback editions of the Mortal Engines/Predator Cities quartet, and copy editing on over 30 modern and classic Goosebumps books.
In my spare time I've self-published a science fiction novel, a video-game-themed wilderness survival guide, and a collection of short stories. My favorite books to work on are genre and literary fiction, but I have experience across the board and am open to any project. Get in touch and let me know how I can help you!
