(NASHVILLE, Tenn.) March 15, 2016 – In a decision driven by continuing rapid growth and a long-term commitment to serving independent Christian retailers, Worthy Publishing announces that it has partnered with Genesis Marketing Group for sales representation to the independent Christian retail market across the U.S., effective April 1, 2016.

“As Worthy continues to grow, we felt a need to enhance our relationship with CBA retailers, an historically important sales channel,” says Byron Williamson, President and Publisher, Worthy Publishing. “Partnering with Genesis allows us to do just that, so we’re excited to move forward with the Genesis team at our side.”

As of April 1, Worthy Publishing will transition from its current sales team at Capitol Christian to the team at Genesis Marketing Group. However, Worthy will continue its recently renewed relationship with Capital Christian as its fulfillment partner. “We’re grateful to Capital Christian for their continued support of our mission and their ongoing help with our expanding fulfillment needs,” Williamson added.

“We love the team at Worthy Publishing, and we’re excited to support them in this capacity,” says David George, Genesis Marketing Group. “We believe in their products, so it’s an honor to be a part of the team putting their authors and books in the hands of booksellers.”
