Do we know what procedure AP uses to add words to their stylebook? I would want to know that first.
One of my interns is at UT for PR. She is working all her AP resources…. I’ll let you know what she find.

According to a UT professor: It is hyphenated
Here is the exact entry:
AP Stylebook entry
co- Retain the hyphen when forming nouns, adjectives and verbs that indicate occupation or status:
co-author co-pilot
co-chairman co-respondent (in a divorce suit)
co-defendant co-signer
co-host co-sponsor
co-owner co-star
co-partner co-worker
(Several are exceptions to Webster's New World College Dictionary in the interests of consistency.) Use no hyphen in other combinations:
coed cooperate
coeducation cooperative
coequal coordinate
coexist coordination
coexistence
Cooperate, coordinate and related words are exceptions to the rule that a hyphen is used if a prefix ends in a vowel and the word that follows begins with the same vowel.
We have asked the UT professor to help us contact AP about changing this for Coworking. Apparently they’re open to change. It was suggested that we should have LOTS of examples. Maybe we should start a google doc… https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AquJwRGpy_TAdEpnNnlOUXZ0OVdHejE1NTFmdUlVZWc&hl=en_US#gid=0
Does anyone know what Chicago Style says(they are mainly for magazines and books)?
Cheers – Liz

they did not hyphenate "Coworking Visa" as that is a name of a program but they did hyphenate the word everywhere else in the article.
I asked a professional editor friend of mine and this is what she had to say:"I think usually the style guides follow the dictionary, and the dictionary is descriptive, not prescriptive. I just had Roma check Webster's, and she says there's no entry for "coworking," just "coworker,"
... getting a dictionary entry will be easier than convincing AP. The style guides will follow."
Place is a physical place, like a fireplace or a workplace or a marketplace or meet me at the place where...
When Collective Agency was around awhile, more than a few people said they'd "thought coworking spaces couldn't work in Portland, but we were the first place that did."
