Kosmail to editor-in-chief/admin’r Avilyn or the Katalog group to add/update an entry, stating the kind of information you can see in other katalogue vendors’ listings (above and in the full katalogue):
■ shop/business name or your own;
■ your business/product contact information;
■ department[s]/category[ies] in which your business / products are appropriate to be listed (see list of kategories HERE);
■ a one-to-two sentence blurb/description, or even just a phrase if you prefer, e.g., real estate law practice in Chicago — pet-sitter in Virginia — novelist/self-publisher online — quilting supplies & equipment — etc. about what goods or services you offer. If your business/products properly go[es] in more than one kategory and the blurb should vary among them, give exact wording for each category/department you request, so Avilyn doesn’t have to try to guess.
