PFN – Persimmon Tree Short Takes Call for Submissions. Theme: “Shameless Self-Promotion”

August 20, 2023 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

Submissions Policies

Persimmon Tree’s mission is to bring the creativity and talent of women over sixty to a wide audience of readers of all ages. We are looking for work that reveals rich experience and a variety of perspectives. Each issue of the magazine will include several fiction and nonfiction pieces, and poetry by one or more poet(s).

IMPORTANT SUBMISSIONS REQUIREMENT:

Subscriptions to PERSIMMON TREE are free, but, for your work to be considered, you must be a subscriber.  Visit site to subscribe.

Short Takes: 

Short Takes are usually short pieces, fiction or non-fiction (250-500 words), but can also be topical poetry. We’re especially interested in hearing about your experiences, but you can include your thoughts, dreams, ideas and opinions. Humor and irony are always appreciated!

 

FALL ISSUE – publication date: September 15, 2023
Topic for the fall issue: Shameless Self-Promotion

What we are looking for:
Women of the “boomer” generation and before were, by and large, raised to be self-effacing, not to trumpet our accomplishments. In fact, many of us came of age believing it would be unseemly for us even to have accomplishments. It’s time to step outside that (dis)comfort zone: Short Takes is open for bragging. Of all the fabulous things you have done in your life, until now cloaked in demure silence, which makes you proudest? Share it, or them, with pride, and without embarrassment.
Submissions accepted: August 10, 2023, to August 20, 2023
(Please do not submit earlier or later than those dates.)
