Interested in assessing new book publications before they hit the bookshops? Do you want to help shape book ideas to make them the very best they can be for veterinary students? CRC Press want to know your thoughts on brand new book proposals aimed at veterinary students and new practitioners. Your feedback can help the author or editor tailor their book plan to make it better suited to your needs. It can even help CRC Press decide whether or not a book project is worth taking forward.
 
 
 
If you'd like to be involved, please email Veterinary Editor alice.oven@tandf.co.uk with some information about your particular areas of interest within veterinary medicine, your level of study, and your vet school. Alice will then add you to a mailing list and contact you should a relevant new book proposal come in for review. You would then have three weeks to complete a detailed questionnaire about the proposal (normally 5-10 pages plus a few pages of sample writing), for which you'd receive a £200 CRC Press book voucher.
 
 
 
Occasionally CRC Press also assess existing books for new editions, in which case we would ask you to review the current edition rather than a proposal.
