Text types we work with

The sky is the limit

You set the genre, we add the timbre

In today’s hyperconnected, globalised world, universities and research organisations are faced with rapidly increasing communications needs. A comparatively sheltered sector in the past, with communications focused on traditional academic genres for sharing ideas (books, articles, conference presentations), academia is now catching up to the mind-boggling diversity of twenty-first-century communications channels. Public visibility and online presence are a must, emphasising the need for more conscious branding and self-presentation all the way up from individual academics or groups to research centres and entire universities.

But how to stay on top of the sheer complexity of communications needs faced by the academic sector today? Mind Your Way provides a unique, “one-stop shop” response to this challenge by offering a holistic suite of specialist communications and people development services. In addition to our coaching programs, skills development workshops, and online courses, we work with a broad variety of texts and contexts, to ensure your written work always looks and sounds professional, noteworthy, and excellent.

Journal articles

Can’t get that paper published? Need help implementing reviewers’ comments? Or simply don’t have time to copy-edit and ensure compliance with the journal’s style? We are here to assist with all your journal article needs. We’ve helped transform rejected drafts into publications by coaching authors through the review (and re-think!) process. We attend to the minutiae that are journals’ style and formatting requirements. And we refine expression, to ensure that great ideas can shine through clear and beautiful prose.

CVs and résumés

Whether you’ve just graduated or are a leader in your field, your CV is your calling card. Often read before any other documentation, it is a brief but vital overview of your background and achievements. And it’s not just the content that matters – there are visual factors to consider, too. Your CV creates that irrevocable first impression. If you’re unsure what your current CV says about you, we can help. Fresh, concise, and above all professional, let us guide you towards the CV that makes the best first impression.

Brochures and flyers

Do you need new flyers, brochures, or other promotional materials to showcase your work? We can assist. Mind your Way has worked with many research centres and organisations to develop text and graphics for promotional purposes. Whether you choose to outsource the entire design process, or want us to contribute to textual or graphical aspects of the design only – we will always collaborate closely with you and your people to ensure we deliver what you need.

Newsletters

Are you thinking about developing a regular newsletter to showcase your group’s work, but don’t have the time to write content or look after the logistics? Perhaps you already have a newsletter in place, but are struggling to get it out on time or ensure the desired impact? We partner with organisations small and large to research and write feature articles or news items for their newsletters, feeding smoothly into their existing delivery platforms and communications systems.

Reports and strategies

The end of the financial year often signals a dreaded task: report writing. Why not lessen the burden during an already busy time by letting us edit – and even write – important reports for you? Or perhaps you are developing an important plan or strategy for your group, and need someone to develop or edit this document? We can assist with this too.

Equipped to deal with both lengthy and brief reports, plans, and strategies for different audiences, our SWAT team of editors are ready to be airdropped in to defeat everything from unnecessary repetition to inconsistent formatting. We can also take the reins in collating material, devising a structure, or liaising with stakeholders to ensure all content appears where it should.

Whether you are updating an existing website or creating a new one for yourself or your group, we are here to assist with the writing and editing of web copy that presents you and your work in the best possible light. Beyond purely text-based work, we can also facilitate access to our recommended web designers, making outsourcing the entire process to Mind Your Way a viable option.
