April Crane – Editor

I have nearly 20 years of editing, writing, and instructional design experience at such companies as Google, Disney, Social Studies School Service, Wonder Workshop, ALO7, and Glencoe/McGraw-Hill. I have developed content across multiple subject areas, including English language learning, project management, digital marketing, digital skills, AI, social studies, coding and robotics, career education, music, visual arts, drama, and health.

In my role as an education content writer for the Google Career Certificates and Google Applied Digital Skills programs, I write and edit video scripts, readings, interactive activities, lesson plans, and other educational materials to teach various subjects through project-based learning.

As a senior editor at Disney Publishing Worldwide, Social Studies School Service, Wonder Workshop, and ALO7, I managed the curriculum and content development process, which included content editing, copyediting, proofreading, writing, and project management. Projects included teacher materials and app scripts for Disney Learning; Young Citizens: Encounter (a social studies textbook); activities and workbooks for ALO7’s Genius English and Wise English ELL programs; and digital coding and robotics lessons for Wonder Workshop.

I am experienced in applying Chicago and AP styles and adhering to project-specific style guidelines and formats. You can find samples of my work and references on my LinkedIn page. I look forward to learning about your project!
