    This event looks great, thanks for sharing!
    However, when I've gone to the event link to sign up, I can't see any buttons/options to actually register? There's only an option to download to my calendar app. 

    I'm not sure if this is a glitch, or me just being unfamiliar with the new website layout, but either way I would appreciate some assistance! :)

    Can I suggest that a very useful tool in assisting those wishing to publish is Robert Schoenfeld's book "The Chemist's English"? This compendium of essays by Schoenfeld which were published first in Proceedings of the RACI and later Chemistry in Australia, reached its third revised edition in 1989. I am proud to have a copy of this edition. I note that Abebooks.com lists 12 copies for sale, but just the second edition. Wiley is listed as the publisher. I note that Wiley is conducting the webinar. Perhaps it may be persuaded to re-print Schoenfeld's work.

    Good call, Tom, anent a great book !

    I had our library get a copy many years ago.

    Regarding the upcoming webinar: the last time I used the Wiley manuscript submission site, it didn't seem too bad.  We recently used the Elsevier one, which was virtually useless at the page proofs stage.  I had to email our corrections to our contact in India, who forwarded them to the separate proofing group in India, who'd then send an email saying they hadn't received our corrections.  A colleague is currently struggling with the proofs of a book, and the Elsevier team introduce new errors every time he tries to make a correction.  Incredible.
