You're reading the sixth issue of my letters to you - for previous ones, please look in the archive at http://www.wiley-vch.de/newsletter/author.html.
From immediate feedback, but also via the manifold indirect reactions, my colleagues and I have a better idea of where our communication should be strengthened - thank you so much!

Money, manuscripts & more ...

A lot of your questions revolve around royalty payments, tax matters, contracts and manuscripts. Please feel free to continue using pas@wiley-vch.de or my personal e-mail address (ewille@wiley-vch.de) for whatever questions you have. In addition, I would like to give you some "hotline numbers" which you can also use:

Missing contracts, questions regarding royalties, missing complimentary copies are taken care of by Bettina Loycke and Heike Weller (Contracts, Rights, Copyright & Licenses department) as well as Monika Fändrich (Finance department).
