Pretend I will get publication in English (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

imagine

'pretend' is the definition.

'i will get publication in english' is the wordplay.
'will get' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'publication' becomes 'mag' (abbreviation for magazine).
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'i'+'mag'+'in'+'e'='IMAGINE'

(Other definitions for imagine that I've seen before include "A Gemini? (anag)" , "Conceive in the mind" , "Conjure up in mind, visualise" , "Picture to oneself" , "Suppose; think up" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
