***The importance of the university press "list"***
A university press' "list" of areas in which it publishes is very important. When you want to publish a book, not only when you think about what kind of publisher you should aim for, but even before you begin to write you need to consider the "list" of different publishers. Publishing trends revealed in leading university presses have a compelling impact across academia. Information sessions by university presses are an indispensable source of information, so please take advantage of this opportunity.
