Fantasy Dictionary
Have you ever had a feeling you cannot express in words? Is there a phenomenon or sensation you have experienced that escapes precise description?
Invent your own word!
Send us a neologism, accompanied by a poetic definition. Or a visual definition – be creative with the definition of definitions!
For your neologism, you may combine parts of different words from the same language or different languages. You may also use onomatopoeia, or invent a word from scratch. Please do not send an obscure word that already exists.
The winner will receive a $50 gift certificate to Amazon. All entries will be published in a Special Issue, provided they meet our publication standards and are approved by the Editorial Board.
To submit, email your dictionary entry in the form of a Microsoft Word Doc, PNG, or JPG to melange@princeton.edu with the subject line “Fantasy Dictionary”. Please do not include any identifying information in the attachment.
