University presses publish scholarly monographs, regional titles and serious general nonfiction. Authors usually send a book proposal (overview, chapter outline, sample chapters, CV and market analysis) directly to the acquisitions editor for their field — check the press's subject list first. Manuscripts go through peer review before a contract is offered.
