Marybeth Hicks spent more than a dozen years writing from the intersection of parenting and culture. From 2004 to 2014, her family column, "Then again..." ran in newspapers and magazines in print and online, and she authored four parenting books, including Teachable Moments (Simon & Schuster/Howard Books, 2014) and Bringing Up Geeks (Penguin/Berkley Books, 2008). Marybeth gained her expertise in the trenches as the mother of four children, but through the years, her parenting role evolved. The geeky kids who inspired countless hours in front of a keyboard grew into four very cool adults, so Marybeth returned to her career in marketing. She currently works as director of strategic communications for a niche magazine publishing company.
