Charlotte Dancer Communications and Proofreading Services

Spend time on what matters most to you, while I take care of creating quality communications, bringing out the best of your business, and polishing and improving your work for a professional finish.
Based in east Cornwall, with over 25 years’ experience in marketing and communications, and fully qualified as a proofreader, I specialise in supporting tourism and environmental businesses throughout Devon and Cornwall with communications and proofreading. I am also open to supporting other businesses, organisations and groups.
I offer an efficient, reliable and friendly service, providing great attention to detail.
How I can support you
- Proofreading: Noticing and correcting errors with spelling, punctuation, grammar and consistency (leaflets, brochures, reports, maps, interpretation boards, web pages, presentation slides, exhibition materials, books, and more). Sometimes, you’re too close to your own work to spot mistakes. I can help to polish your work, for a great first impression and professional finish.
- Planning and creating content for social media: Working with you to understand your audiences and the stories you have to tell, and creating a schedule for posting to your platforms (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn). From campaigns stretching over several months, countdown posts to a special event, or one-off posts that capture something in the moment, I will help to craft your words, choose images, create graphics and plan a timeline for posting. Carefully considered posts, with consistent messaging, will mean no more last-minute flurries of frantic posts at the end of each week.
- Adding content to websites: Keeping your website up to date with the latest content, news and events, ensures that it remains a trusted source of information for existing and potential audiences. It can encourage repeat visits, and keeps the ‘shop window’ to your business looking smart and fresh.
- Email newsletters: Creating and sending email newsletters, to regularly update your audience and share news. Regular and consistent messaging increases the chance that your business is kept in mind.
- Writing and issuing press releases: Pulling out the ‘what, why, who, when, where and how?’ of your news article, and submitting to relevant local or regional media contacts. If it’s a national story, I can work with you to suggest specialist magazines or national newspapers.
- Exhibition materials: Advising on, and helping with, the production of exhibition materials. From writing the text for flyers, posters, banners or exhibition panels, and advising on imagery and what to consider when setting up your stand, to suggesting designers and printers.
- Creating communications plans: Stepping back and taking a close look at your business with fresh eyes, identifying audiences, messaging, and understanding why you do what you do, can provide clarity. I can work with you to suggest how best to get your messages across, using a variety of communications channels, tailored to your budget and resources.
