Background
Valerie Andrews began her professional journey with qualifications in health sciences and a career in facilitating organizational change in large healthcare organizations. Thirty years later, she transitioned into publishing, founded Opal Tree Press, and dedicated her work to supporting writers, artists, and creative thinkers on their creative path.
She has published a dozen nonfiction books for writers and artists, combining practical exercises with reflective guidance, creative frameworks, and accessible teaching. Her books are designed to help people move from uncertainty to action — whether they are developing a writing practice, exploring a new creative identity, shaping a book idea, or learning how to bring more structure and confidence to their creative work. Explore her books on Amazon.
Alongside her books, she offers an online course, Creative Spirit, for people who want to access their imagination and creativity on a deeper level using tools such as creative visualisation. Learn more about Creative Spirit here.
At the heart of Valerie’s work is a simple belief: creativity is not a mysterious gift reserved for a few. It is a practice that can be nurtured, strengthened, and sustained with the right tools, questions, and support.
Through Opal Tree Press, her nonfiction books and courses offer guidance for writers, artists, and creative professionals who want to develop their craft, deepen their confidence, and build a more meaningful creative life.
