This can include tasks such as creating eye-catching covers, managing media relations, planning launch events and online promotion. 5. Distribution: Publishers deal with the distribution of books or magazines through channels such as bookstores, online stores and digital platforms. They can also handle inventory and logistics associated with physical distribution. 6.
