Advertising Guidelines
The Threepenny Review is a quarterly review of the arts and society. Its consulting editors include Geoff Dyer, Deborah Eisenberg, Ian McEwan, and Tobias Wolff; among its writers are Wendell Berry, T. J. Clark, Lydia Davis, Richard Ford, Vivian Gornick, Stephen Greenblatt, Darryl Pinckney, Robert Pinsky, Elizabeth Tallent, and Marina Warner.
Each issue contains new poetry, short stories, personal memoirs, and essays on books, movies, theater, dance, music, architecture, visual arts, television, and politics. Of the total 6,000+ circulation, about 4,000 are long-term paid subscribers, making The Threepenny Review one of the largest literary journals in the country. With branches in both Berkeley and New York, Threepenny may well be the only truly bicoastal quarterly in America.
And in addition to this, we are now offering a very special bonus to our advertisers: All ads purchased for the print addition will automatically appear in our digital edition at no extra cost.
