I know many in the industry prefer “coworking” vs. “co-working” (hyphenating it). In New Mexico one of the prominent Business Journals is publishing a new coworking list but the survey states ‘co-working.’ When I approached the list editor that industry standard has become ‘coworking’ she said they follow AP style (but appreciated the heads up). I wonder what it might take to get AP to change it to one word? That might be what others are following as well (beyond just media). Any thoughts?
I’m so glad I’m not the only one asking this question! I’ve also found that coworking has become industry standard, but for a little while when we first started exploring the idea, we used co-working. (Since switching, I’ve had people make the “I don’t know how to ork a cow” joke, which gets real old!) I don’t know what it would take to make AP standard change, though; maybe if it’s added to the dictionary without hyphenation? If it’s an actual word instead of an idea, maybe that would take precedence.
I use ‘coworking’ as a way to separate from ‘co-worker’.

Oh my gosh, I love that they actually bought that domain! Glad there is a ‘definitive’ answer, though. Definitely validates the choice to not hyphenate!

Congrats to all in the community who kept the pressure on, and never accepted AP Stylebooks' previous use.

This discussion about coworking vs. co-working really concludes now with
the AP Stylebook's acknowledgement/announcement!
Yes, you'll enjoy witnessing the use of *coworking* and *not* co-working
in the news and articles going forward.
