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.

Ad Guidelines

Ad Size

  • We recommend ads include a title, subtitle, and/or byline, along with approximately 250 words of text and one “cover” image. Please also provide links to purchase your item or to learn more about your product or service.
  • Standard ads are 640 pixels wide and 500–700 pixels tall. Click here to view/download a sample ad for reference.
  • If your ad is taller than 700 pixels, there will be an extra fee of $15 for each additional 100 pixels in height.
  • If your ad requires multiple images, there will also be an extra $15 fee for each additional image.


    • Revisions

  • Every ad includes one round of revisions at no extra cost.
  • If you’d like more changes after that, or if you send over new text or images once the ad is in progress, there will be an additional $30 fee per revision. This simply covers the extra time it takes to update and polish your ad.


    • Tips to Save on Fees

  • Try to send your text and images in final form whenever possible.
  • Keep your ad within the standard size to avoid extra charges.

    Countermelodies: A Memoir in Sonata Form
    by Ernistine Whitman
        Countermelodies, winner of both the NYC Big Book Award and the Indie Reader Discovery Award for memoir, is a coming of age story about the powerful relationship between a protegee and her mentor, and the devastating effects when that mentor betrays her by withdrawing his support just when she needs it most. A young woman who yearns for her father’s approval is constantly overshadowed by a brilliant older sister. Her self-doubt vanishes when, at age thirteen, she discovers a passion for the flute and studies with a charismatic teacher who becomes her surrogate father. Years later, she wins an audition to work beside him in the Atlanta Symphony, where she is the youngest and one of few women in the orchestra. After her exhilarating first year, the mentor turns against her and threatens to destroy her professional and personal life. Her love for the flute and drive to be a musician sustain her through additional encounters with abusive men as she tries to succeed in the competitive field of classical music. “A disturbing and compelling tale of resilience, determination, and musical passion.” — Kirkus Reviews “Whitman explores power dynamics, patriarchal oppression, and music as personal salvation. … a story of persistence and survival in a world at the mercy of toxic misogyny.” — BlueInk Review https://ernestinewhitman.ag-sites.net/index.htm Available from Amazon, Bookshop, Barnes & Noble, and your local independent bookstore.
