Your publication date is right around the corner, and it just so happens that your favorite local bookstore is too.

As an author, you’ll receive a plethora of advice on preparing for your book’s publication day from your publisher, publicist, and fellow authors. Solicited or unsolicited, help preparing for publication is an integral part of any book’s success, but what do you do on the actual day of publication?
Today, there are more than two million podcasts being produced on just about every topic imaginable. Podcasts can be enjoyable, entertaining, and—perhaps most importantly—educational for the listener. As you can imagine, there are more than a few podcasts about the publishing industry. From publishing options to marketing advice, authors desire as much information and guidance as possible about publishing a book, which is why we’ve compiled a list of some of the best podcasts on the topic.
