How do I get a word into the Oxford Dictionary?

I want to create a new word, and would like it to be recognised as a word, and eventually be entered in the Dictionary.

you need to use it in a book... if some other writers use it in their books as well, then you have more chances of seeing it in a dictionary one day.

having it in newspapers can help too...
