About me

Rebecca Livermore has been a freelance writer for over 15 years. She has written hundreds of magazine and web articles and ghostwritten two books. Her work has been published in three anthologies.

Rebecca writes on numerous subjects, but specializes in her two favorite subject areas: Asia and Christianity. Her articles reflect the fact that she loves to learn new things and then share what she has learned with others.

Rebecca has lived in India where she worked as an ethnographer, with a focus on the cultural and historical aspects of high-caste Hindus.

Rebecca currently works as the Asia administrative assistant for a mission organization based in Littleton, Colorado.

When she's not busy working or writing, Rebecca spends time with her husband of over 20 years, her two young-adult children, and her dog, a rat terrier named Jake.
