We are compiling a dictionary of audiovisual industry terms (called
Hollywords) that covers film, television, and video games. We realize
that anime is a world unto itself, with its own language that combines
Japanese words borrowed into English, new terms coined by fans, and
specialized animation terms used by the artists who create the
material. We want to expose mainstream audiovisual industry
professionals to the unique language of anime. To do that, we are
looking for individuals interested in contributing to the Hollywords
dictionary project (fact checking or proofreading existing entries,
submitting new entries, acting as subject-matter editors, etc.).
The goal of the Hollywords dictionary is to provide a single,
authoritative resource for industry professionals and enthusiasts who
encounter terms from outside their normal area of expertise. In this
case, we would be defining anime terminology for those who aren't
already fans and who don't already work for an anime studio. Our
humble goal is to foster free, open, and accurate communication across
the various specializations that make up the audiovisual industry as a
whole. (More information about the Hollywords project can be found at
www.hollyword.org, or you can write us at info@[EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you're passionate anime and want to share your expertise with
others, then we would love to hear from you. In addition to providing
a positive contribution to the audiovisual industry, contributors will
also be acknowledged in the print publication and will earn a share of
the publishing royalties.
Thank you for your time. We hope to hear from you soon.
