All you do is propose the idea to the publisher, and if interested, they take it from there. I was copy editor on several of Maria Langer's VQG books back in the 90s, and I know that she got a larger royalty because she did the typesetting herself and paid me to do the editing (instead of having PeachPit do it). I will write Maria and see what exactly is the procedure, who to contact, etc. You probably need to submit an outline and a complete chapter with your proposal. Come to think of it, I'm friends with Bob LeVitus too, and he writes for the Dummy series. I'll ask him as well. Both publishers would undoubtedly require a viable market for such a book though, and you'd probably have to show some proof of a user base.
