Hi Jessie,

Hope you are doing well. So I've become inspired to pitch a magazine story to Working Mother magazine about the new coworking with child care spaces that are opening and even this group...this is a trend story that's totally up their alley and I think it would be great exposure for everyone if I could get this in the magazine.

Quick question: how many members do you currently have in this group? I know a lot are international, any idea how many are in the US?

I'm also thinking skeptics might be wondering what happened to that first space in California, Cubes and Crayons...that was the big one that got some media attention (I think they were in Parents magazine). Does anyone know why they folded? I'm hoping I can pre-empt any editor concerns that the idea isn't viable or has already been discussed and sort of "finished" if that makes sense.

Thanks for you help!

Good morning! I'm really excited about your potential story!

We have 23 members in this list. I know that 9 are American, but I don't know everyone on the list.

I have e-mailed with Felicity of Cubes and Crayons in the past. She's told me she closed even though the business was successful because she was offered her dream job in her pre-Cubes&Crayons field. She also told me she's available for consulting on this topic.

Thanks, Jackie, and good luck! Let us know how we can help and participate :)

Hey all,

Sorry to be so silent - I am also super excited to see so many new things on the horizon. Great that you got in touch with Felicity for some advice.

Please let me know if I can be of any help in getting info for the article, especially if they want some background material for coworking in general.

Cheers,

Julianne
