The Sextant Review is an annual literary journal based in Port Townsend, Washington. It was founded in 2017 as a part of the Northwind Arts Center's 11-year-old literary program, the Northwind Reading Series, and is now independently run. The journal covers are hand-printed by letterpress, and each issue is available in both limited-edition print and in digital format.

The Sextant’s mission is to bring together in print writers from the Olympic Peninsula, Pacific Northwest regions, across the country and the world. We are measuring distance and nearness, calculating our relationship with incalculable things, navigating by words as though they are stars. In a world full of beauty and cruelty, unity and division, literature is a powerful place to examine how we come together and diverge. On our pages we print pieces that are sometimes rough, sometimes polished, pieces by prolific writers, writers who collect gold stars, never-before-published writers, writers with words seeping through their skin because they can’t contain their voices, writers who are using words to navigate to something, or somewhere, or as a raft in this wide strange sea.
