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.

Write to Grow workshops embrace the transformative power of mindfulness and reflective writing in a space designed just for you. You are offered (on Zoom) a gentle pause from the busyness of everyday life. This is your chance to slow down and breathe. You will enjoy reconnecting with your true self.
Each time we meet, we begin with a simple mindfulness exercise. We move into an inviting topic with a discussion followed by writing prompts. The process is developed to help you explore your thoughts, emotions, and life experiences in a safe and supportive setting. Whatever your purpose for writing – personal growth, recall meaningful moments, or simply to express your creativity these workshops offer you encouragement and inspiration.
Together, we create a welcoming community where stories are honored and voices are valued. These workshops are not about developing writing skills so there’s no critiquing and no sense of competition. This is simply an invitation to discover whatever unfolds on your page.
You are invited to join us to celebrate your unique path. You will learn the benefits of writing from within and see how writing can help you rediscover your inner voice.
