Glossy Planet Magazine: Call for submissions - Cult of Productivity
Deadline: Thu 15 Jan 2026
Every January, the world tells you to go fix yourself. New Year, New You. Rise and grind. Detox, optimize, and #lifehack your way to a better life. Ads and influencers tell you that your current self is outdated, and the cult of productivity steps into the spotlight. But what if you refuse to listen?
We want work that interrogates the idea that who you are is a problem to be fixed. Write about the pressure to upgrade your body, life, and identity—or the power of resisting.
We welcome writing of all forms: fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, and hybrid work. If it’s alive, urgent, and something you have to write right now, send it our way.
Word Count: Up to 1,000 words of prose or 2 pages of poetry
Three winners will be selected and published at the end of February.
Prizes:
First place: $1,000 and publication
Second place: $200 and publication
Third place: $100 and publication
Submission fee: $10
International submissions are welcome, as long as the work is primarily in English.
