Advertise in Persimmon Tree

Persimmon Tree accepts ads from women 60 and over for books, magazines, websites, art works, gallery showings, play readings and performances, concerts, recordings, textiles and weaving, greeting cards, jewelry, and anything else in the world of literature, the arts or crafts that you wish to share.
The advertising pages can be accessed from anywhere in the magazine by clicking on ArtsMart, which is at the top of every page. The order of ads in ArtsMart changes every time a reader opens their browser, so every ad will rise to the top of the page with some frequency. In addition to appearing in ArtsMart, ads are scattered throughout the editorial pages of the magazine, and are featured every few weeks in emails sent to Persimmon Tree’s mailing list of 8,000 readers, subscribers and friends.
Links to Amazon and Bookshop.org are affiliate links, meaning that although the price to the purchaser and your royalty from the publisher remain the same, Persimmon Tree receives a small commission on each purchase. Nevertheless, we will continue also to suggest to purchasers that they can buy your work from independent bookstores, and we will include in your ad any links, in addition to the links to Amazon and Bookshop.org, that you request.
Formatting
Formatting your ad for Persimmon Tree is easy. We’ll do it all for you. Just send us the text you’d like to have in the ad (we suggest that you keep it to 250 words or less), a photo of the book cover or whatever other picture you’d like in the ad, and a link to purchase or learn more about your book or website. Our web designer will do the rest. We’ll send you a mockup of your ad for your approval before it appears in Persimmon Tree. If you have additional images, formatting or special requests, we can handle those too for an additional formatting fee.

What if you could have a different marriage without having to get a different spouse? At age sixty, marital therapist, Leah Fisher, does just that. She wants to explore the world; he wants to focus on his career. After much discussion, the couple agrees to be apart for a year, each pursuing their own dream while arranging for periodic reunions and nurturing a committed relationship.
Leah’s solo journey leads her to a shaman in the Amazon, a Colombian drug runner, a massive earthquake, volunteer projects, loving families, and lots of swimming in warm oceans. The couple’s relationship changes…for the better. Unknowingly, they’ve been reconfiguring their idea of a good marriage, shaping one that better suits their needs in the second half of life.
This wise and often humorous book combines an intimate view of a long-term marriage, guidance in couple negotiation, healing adventures, and an inspiring example of individual expression and relational growth in later life.
“A bold audacious experiment... described with breathtaking honesty.”
— Judith Viorst
“An inspiring travel remembrance... a practical guidebook to marital satisfaction. “
— Kirkus
“As she and Charley continually alter their relationship, they model lived feminism and compromise. The result is wanderlust-inducing—the stuff of dreams and daring.”
