It occurred to me that people ask me the same questions about Keetologue all the time, so
I prepared this handy dandy Frequently Asked Questions document for said questions. Away we go!
Where does the name Keetologue come from?
Keetologue is a play on words, made up of the following:
Keet - my nickname since I was a kid, for Kitty
ologue - like catalogue, an enumeration or list of things.
Essentially, Keetologue is an enumeration and narrative of things, whether they be people or concepts, that interest me. Self-indulgent,
I know.
Do you really do everything yourself?
Yes, if you would believe it. I write it, I design it, I plug it. Unless otherwise noted in the credits. Usually my sister, Teresa Winky Mak, will supply some drawings.
Why did you start Keetologue?
In 2001-2002, I wrote for my school paper, the McGill Tribune, and a lot of my work was cut out due to space restrictions, and
there were only a finite number of topics that could be covered. That summer, I decided to go off in my own direction, and Keetologue was the result.
Why is Keetologue not in print?
- I'm not that rich.
- Do we need another magazine on newsstands? It's pretty scary the number of overpriced, one-word title lifestyle type magazines on the newsstands already. There is even
a magazine on cosmetic surgery lifestyles. Jesus. (I'm sure there are many magazines about him, I mean Him, too.)
- Being in print, most often equates to needing advertising to subsidize the magazine and to pay the salaries of those writing. This is a labour of love. (insert teary violin music here).
Can I write something for Keetologue?
Sure. Many people have offered, few have followed up. Send me what you have to kitty[at]keetologue[dot]com.
How can I get my band/album/work/etc. in Keetologue?
Email me and we'll talk. kitty[at]keetologue[dot]com.
