About Me
Dan Letchworth (right) is a publishing professional with thirteen years’ experience, and is currently the copy chief of San Diego Magazine and its custom client publications.
He has copy edited hundreds of books for young readers for Scholastic, Hachette Book Group, and Penguin Random House, and created science and activity book projects for Klutz Press in Palo Alto and New York. He holds an MFA in Writing from Columbia University.
His theater review blog, Everyone’s a Critic, was nominated for the 2019 National City & Regional Magazine Award for Best Online Column, and his fun facts column, Dansplaining, won the 2020 San Diego Press Club Excellence in Journalism Award for Light Subject Magazine Column.
He self-publishes and does freelance editing under the business name Desert Owl Press, and doesn’t usually refer to himself in the third person, but finds self-promotion exceedingly uncomfortable.
