Nthe day 25 January of 2022, publishers VLM Press and GodBooks signed a partnership agreement. The objective of this international alliance, unprecedented in the history of the publisher VLM Press, aims to publish and print the book locally “A Cura”, written by Emanuel Carvalho, current pastor of New Hope Brazilian Baptist Church in Florida (USA). VLM Press will exclusively provide the author, promoting the work through the various distribution and marketing channels it has in the country, where it has operated since 2017.
The focus of this partnership is to extend to the community of Brazilian immigrants residing in the country the opportunity to purchase the book printed in format paperback through the VLM Press website and distribution channels, enabling the reader to receive the book with free shipping in the country. According to Maurício Zágari Tupinambá, GodBooks is a Brazilian publisher that publishes books in Brazil and has a distribution network in 190 countries.
