Welcome to Read Communications

Clear, engaging copy for organisations navigating change and digital transformation.

I help charities, SMEs and corporate teams turn complex ideas into accessible, inclusive and human content that employees, clients and customers actually understand.

What I do

Many organisations don’t have in-house communications expertise — or need additional support during busy periods, transformation programmes or product launches. That’s where I come in. I work with organisations that need to:

Communicate clearly during technical or organisational change
Engage diverse, global or non-technical audiences
Produce high-quality content without the overhead of a full-time hire

With experience across the charity sector and global private organisations, I’m used to adapting tone, language and structure to suit different cultures, abilities and contexts — ensuring messages land as intended.

Why Work With Me (Human > Generic AI)

AI can generate words. It can’t:

Ask the right questions
Understand organisational nuance
Balance clarity, empathy and strategy
Anticipate how real people will interpret a message

I work as a strategic partner, not just a writer.

That means:

Getting under the skin of your organisation and audience
Translating complexity into clarity
Creating content that feels human, inclusive and purposeful

If you want content that connects — not just fills space — a human writer still matters.

Creating impressive content

Whether you need to engage your employees or sell a product or service through blogs, scripting videos or rewriting your website - I can help! With years of experience in drafting content from emails to v/blogs, articles and more. I can help you develop copy for a multitude of channels including apps, social media, video, websites and printed copy. Leaving a lasting impression, my content will be tailored to your tone of voice, brand and style sheet, and help to achieve the results you want.

Deadlines matter. You can rely on me to deliver high-quality content when you need it — without last-minute stress.

Collaborative by design

I work closely with clients, welcoming feedback and offering strategic suggestions to strengthen the final outcome.

Pricing

I typically work on a day rate basis (based on an 8-hour day), with flexibility around meetings and collaboration.

Rates vary depending on scope and complexity, and I offer reduced rates for charities and not-for-profit organisations.

Delivering quality, on time

Delivering on time is critical to the success of your project. When you work with me, you can rest assured that your content will be delivered promptly without compromising on quality.

Collaboration is key

I believe in building strong relationships with my clients. I'll work closely with you, listening to your ideas, incorporating your feedback and offering creative and strategic suggestions to make sure you are absolutely satisfied with the final result.

Affordable pricing

Charging by the day (based on an 8 hour working day) but working alongside a full time position so delivering your project mostly outside of office hours, I will be flexible to accommodate meetings and collaborating where needed. Rates will vary depending on the type of work and I can offer charity rates, please get in touch for a quote.

About me

I’m Lucy Read — a content writer and communications professional with experience across global corporate and not-for-profit organisations.

Read Communications is here to support organisations that care about clarity, inclusion and impact, and need content that reflects those values.

Values

Integrity

Accessibility and inclusion sit at the heart of my work. Content should be usable and understandable by everyone.

Listening

Strong results come from collaboration, curiosity and openness — not assumptions.

My journey

My career path spans performance, hospitality, business management and communications — giving me a unique perspective on audience, engagement and storytelling.

I’ve worked across HR, L&D, employee engagement, events and internal, volunteer and commercial communications, and bring that breadth into every project.
