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.

Stories Never More Timely, A Perfect Gift for the Holidays

A Year Without Men

Stories of Experience and Imagination.

by I.D. Kapur

It’s 2054 A.D., and the world needs a rest from men. Women have developed a novel solution, and the men can’t wait to leave. When my taxi driver tells me he has bullet wounds from the Russian police, speaks five languages, and is teaching at Harvard, I start taking notes. After the funeral, a widow loses all her married friends. Then karma sends flowers. “Indra Kapur writes with clear insight and an acute sense of humor. The stories in A Year Without Men are varied, clever, and often delightfully surprising! Cue me rubbing my hands together with glee.” — Katherine Longshore, author of the Gilt series. “The stories in A Year Without Men create a powerful sense of place with rich sensory and emotional detail. Characters are appealing in their humor and the compassion they inspire. I want to meet these people and be there with them! Some endings surprise us, and others give us a satisfying sense of the inevitable playing out. The stories have a depth of reality that makes them unforgettable.” — Ann Saxton Reh, author of the David Markam Mysteries “Mickee Voodoo is a very entertaining parody of a “hardboiled” detective story in the mode of Chandler, Hammett, and, more recently, Robert B. Parker…witty banter ensues with the detective cracking wise in a colorful idiom both in dialogue and narrative…delights in wordplay…very clever, and is quite funny…Kapur is a talented and skillful fiction writer.” — John DeChancie, author of The Skyway Trilogy and The Castle Perilous series. Available from Amazon or on order from your independent bookstore.
