They lead teams of printers, graphic artists, and processing crews and may coordinate the production of books, magazines, brochures, posters, business cards, and stationary.

As a publisher you may be providing a quote to a prospective client, working on a design concept for a book cover, or overseeing the setup and operation of the printing press. Many publishers also arrange team meetings, manage print productivity, purchase raw materials, and meet with publishing clients.
