 ## Usage
 
-### Basic usage
+### Publishing Messages
+
+`Ears` provides a thread-safe publisher for sending messages to RabbitMQ exchanges with automatic retry and connection recovery capabilities.
+
+#### Basic Publisher Usage
+
+To publish messages, create an `Ears::Publisher` instance and call `publish`:
+
+```ruby
+require 'ears'
+
+# Configure Ears (same configuration is shared by consumers and publishers)
+Ears.configure do |config|
+  config.rabbitmq_url = 'amqp://user:password@myrmq:5672'
+  config.connection_name = 'My Publisher'
+end
+
+# Create a publisher for a topic exchange
+publisher = Ears::Publisher.new('my_exchange', :topic, durable: true)
+
+# Publish a message
+data = { user_id: 123, action: 'login', timestamp: Time.now.iso8601 }
+publisher.publish(data, routing_key: 'user.login')
+```
+
+#### Exchange Types and Options
+
+Publishers support all RabbitMQ exchange types:
+
+```ruby
+# Topic exchange (default)
+topic_publisher = Ears::Publisher.new('events', :topic)
+
+# Direct exchange
+direct_publisher = Ears::Publisher.new('commands', :direct)
+
+# Fanout exchange
+fanout_publisher = Ears::Publisher.new('broadcasts', :fanout)
+
+# Headers exchange
+headers_publisher = Ears::Publisher.new('complex_routing', :headers)
+
+# Custom exchange options
+publisher =
+  Ears::Publisher.new(
+    'my_exchange',
+    :topic,
+    durable: true,
+    auto_delete: false,
+    arguments: {
+      'x-message-ttl' => 60_000,
+    },
+  )
+```
+
+#### Message Options
+
+The `publish` method accepts various message options:
+
+```ruby
+publisher.publish(
+  { message: 'Hello World' },
+  routing_key: 'greeting.hello',
+  persistent: true, # Persist message to disk (default: true)
+  headers: {
+    version: '1.0',
+  }, # Custom headers
+  timestamp: Time.now.to_i, # Message timestamp (default: current time)
+  message_id: SecureRandom.uuid, # Unique message identifier
+  correlation_id: 'abc-123', # Correlation ID for request/response patterns
+  reply_to: 'response_queue', # Queue for responses
+  expiration: '60000', # Message TTL in milliseconds
+  priority: 5, # Message priority (0-9)
+  type: 'user_event', # Message type
+  app_id: 'my_application', # Application identifier
+  user_id: 'system', # User identifier (verified by RabbitMQ)
+)
+```
+
+#### Thread-Safe Publishing
+
+Publishers use a connection pool for thread-safe operation, making them suitable for concurrent use:
+
+```ruby
+# Single publisher can be safely used across multiple threads
+publisher = Ears::Publisher.new('events', :topic)
+
+# Example with multiple threads
+threads =
+  10.times.map do |i|
+    Thread.new do
+      100.times do |j|
+        publisher.publish({ thread: i, message: j }, routing_key: "thread.#{i}")
+      end
+    end
+  end
+
+threads.each(&:join)
+```
+
+#### Publisher Configuration
+
+Publisher behavior can be fine-tuned through configuration options:
+
+```ruby
+Ears.configure do |config|
+  # Connection settings
+  config.rabbitmq_url = 'amqp://user:password@myrmq:5672'
+  config.connection_name = 'My Application'
+
+  # Publisher-specific settings
+  config.publisher_pool_size = 32 # Channel pool size (default: 32)
+  config.publisher_pool_timeout = 2 # Pool checkout timeout in seconds (default: 2)
+
+  # Connection retry settings
+  config.publisher_connection_attempts = 30 # Connection retry attempts (default: 30)
+  config.publisher_connection_base_delay = 1 # Base delay between connection attempts (default: 1s)
+  config.publisher_connection_backoff_factor = 1.5 # Connection backoff multiplier (default: 1.5)
+
+  # Publish retry settings
+  config.publisher_max_retries = 3 # Max publish retry attempts (default: 3)
+  config.publisher_retry_base_delay = 0.1 # Base delay between publish retries (default: 0.1s)
+  config.publisher_retry_backoff_factor = 2 # Publish retry backoff multiplier (default: 2)
+end
+```
+
+#### Fault Tolerance and Recovery
+
+Publishers automatically handle connection failures and provide several recovery mechanisms:
+
+##### Automatic Retry with Exponential Backoff
+
+```ruby
+# Publishers automatically retry failed operations
+publisher = Ears::Publisher.new('events', :topic)
+
+# This will automatically retry with exponential backoff if the connection fails
+publisher.publish({ event: 'user_signup' }, routing_key: 'user.signup')
+```
+
+##### Manual Recovery
+
+If you need to manually reset the connection pool (e.g., after detecting connection issues):
+
+```ruby
+publisher = Ears::Publisher.new('events', :topic)
+
+# Reset the channel pool to force new connections
+publisher.reset!
+
+# Subsequent publishes will use fresh channels
+publisher.publish({ event: 'recovery_test' }, routing_key: 'system.recovery')
+```
+
+##### Error Handling
+
+Publishers raise specific exceptions that you can handle:
+
+```ruby
+require 'ears'
+
+publisher = Ears::Publisher.new('events', :topic)
+
+begin
+  publisher.publish({ data: 'test' }, routing_key: 'test.message')
+rescue Ears::PublisherRetryHandler::PublishError => e
+  # Handle publish failures (after all retries exhausted)
+  logger.error "Failed to publish message: #{e.message}"
+  # Consider queuing message for later retry or alerting
+rescue => e
+  # Handle other unexpected errors
+  logger.error "Unexpected error: #{e.message}"
+end
+```
+
+### Basic consumer usage
 
 First, you should configure `Ears`.
