Getting It Strait is an online journal that publishes works on youth culture and current affairs. We look for a wide variety of English submissions—essays, short stories, poetry, articles, illustrations, just to name a few—anything that presents your perspective for the benefit of society at large. As a collective, we strive to empower voices and connect people beyond geographical “straits” in the pursuit of social justice and creative exploration.
