Open submission call until May 1st 2021.

The Sextant Review accepts unsolicited submissions during our open call periods. We are looking for high quality poetry, prose, and translation of any style or genre. Send us writing that surprises and inspires. We aren’t interested in pieces that express hatred or violence towards any group of people. We often choose a theme after reading and beginning the submission selection process, so we never know exactly what we're looking for until a piece of work strikes us.

Simultaneous submissions are absolutely fine. Compensation is two print copies of the journal with the limited-edition letterpress cover.

To submit, please read the following instructions carefully. Submissions that do not adhere to the instructions will not be read.

Poetry:

We are interested in a range of poetry types and subject matter. Submit up to five poems per submission. Pieces may belong to single series, be part of a larger work, or may demonstrate a range of the poet's interest and style.

Prose:

We publish between one and three pieces of prose of any genre per issue, and are interested in everything from flash fiction (1000 words or less) to excerpts from longer works. Up to 5000 words.

Essay:

Form essays on any subject, thought-provoking and well-crafted. Up to 5000 words.

Translation:

English translations of poetry, and occasionally prose, from any language.
