Our Advertising Policy

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) and a photo of the book cover or whatever other picture you’d like in the ad, and 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.

The Birthing House

by Kathy Taylor

Audio Book narrated by Abigail Reno and Stephen Dalton

The Birthing House is a novel about writing, memory and belonging. It takes place in the medieval town of Marburg, Germany, where layers of history and philosophy, stories of immigrants, midwives and births surround a woman who finds healing and discovery through her writing. Kathy’s life-long love of language, music and storytelling come together in the newly released audiobook. Two talented narrators bring to life the diverse voices, languages and accents that season the text as Kathy’s original recordings create a musical interplay with key moments in the story.

“Kathy Taylor's writing is a breath of fresh air in the literary world. Her ability to explore complex themes with nuance and sensitivity is unmatched. Her characters come alive on the page, their struggles and triumphs echoing in the hearts of readers.” -- Bookish Connections Available from Amazon, Spotify and many other major platforms.
