If you're tearing your
hair out because your home work space is a disaster, or not as
comfortable as it needs to be, count on Marilyn Zelinsky to help you out of your mess!
Zelinsky knows
firsthand the experience of working from a less-than-ideal home
office. When Zelinsky first began working at home, she wound
up on the dining room table and eventually graduated to a cramped,
inefficient, and messy home office! Through researching her book
on home office planning and design, she was able to find and
carve out the most desirable and productive place in her home
from which to work.
From her experiences,
Zelinsky wrote Practical
Home Office Solutions (McGraw-Hill,
October 1998) and New
Workplaces for New Workstyles (McGraw-Hill January 1998). Practical Home Office
Solutions
depicts the reality of the work-at-home lifestyle through photos
of real-life home offices and through insightful, often humerous
interviews with home office workers who candidly discuss their
design problems and share their solutions. In her book, Zelinsky
also evaluates some of the most popular home office furniture
products, and tells you where to find affordable home workspace
solutions.
Zelinsky has
reported extensively on the design industry for a decade, as
senior editor for Interiors Magazine (until she
left to work at home full-time), and writing articles for national
publications including Home Office Computing, Country
Decorator, and Woman's Day Special Interest Decorating
Publications. She has judged a number of product and
furniture competitions sponsored by the American Society of Interior
Designers, and she has seen the best and the worst home office
products on the market when she judged the 1995 and 1996 Home
Office Products Competition, sponsored by the Merchandise Mart
of Chicago and Interiors Magazine.
Zelinsky has
collected home office design dilemmas for nearly a decade and
always needs new real-life stories for articles she writes.
Zelinsky, a journalist,
works from her home office (which was once a bonafied disaster!)
and lives with her husband, Steve Syarto, in Fairfield, CT. She
is available for writing assignments and media interviews at
