With 24-hour broadband, online teaching, and project-based work, many more mothers are opting to work at home. What’s the cost, personally and professionally, of the public/private blur, and who’s paying it? Let’s talk about how the work-at-home arrangement is changing… both the writing life and the experience of motherhood in this writer-to-writer discussion with a culturally diverse, multi-generational panel of editors, full-time writers, freelance arts administrators, and college professors who work at their dining room tables.
