This blog is about strange and lovely words. Sometimes those are words that can’t be translated; sometimes they’re words for feelings we’ve felt but never been able to name; sometimes they’re just words that sound good.

Hi there! I recently stumbled upon your blog and absolutely fell in love with you wordsmithery! I'd like to ask you a favour; I am planning my wedding for mid-2014 (yay) and have an idea to add small cards to each guest's seat - each with a definition that matches his/her personality. I'd like to ask your for your permission to take some of these definitions from your site. I'll make sure to keep your address on them and credit you in some way :) Regards, Krystal

That sounds like a brilliant idea! Absolutely, go for it. I appreciate the credit. Congratulations and best wishes to both of you!

Otherwordly is one year old today!

So I figured today would be a good time to announce that OTHERWORDLY IS GOING TO BE PUBLISHED BY CHRONICLE BOOKS!

asdf;lkj you guys I'm so thrilled. Think about it--soon you'll be able to have a book full of strange and lovely words with you wherever you go! (I've even got a word for that: vade mecum, a favorite book carried everywhere. I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.)

And really, it's been a great year all around. Otherwordly's posted 473 words so far (the first was "saudade") and the blog reached 50,000 followers just last week. So THANK YOU to each and every one of you wonderful word-lovers, and a million thank-yous to my agent John Cusick.
