Publishers (e.g., Atria Books)

Publishers, like Atria Books, are organizations that acquire, produce, and distribute books to the public. They select manuscripts, edit and design the content, and handle the marketing and distribution to bookstores, libraries, and online platforms. Essentially, publishers act as the intermediary that brings an author's work to readers, ensuring the book is professionally crafted and widely available. They also often oversee branding, cover design, and promotional campaigns to help the book reach its target audience and achieve commercial success.
