Write Life Workshops is blessed with outstanding staff who bring their unique gifts and writing experience to enhance the WLW team.

A Christian speaker and teacher, Valerie Ray writes for a national audience in her email groups The Sister Circle and At The King’s Table. She also shares devotional truths from God’s Word to a mobile ministry called the Text Crew. Her first published work appeared in Life Lesson For The Teacher by Write Integrity.
As a gifted encourager, Ray has a passion for drawing the heart of others to the heart of God. She offers inspiration to writers through The Write Journey, her column in the The Write Life, the WLW’s monthly newsletter.

Andi Lehman freelances in diverse markets and writes nonfiction stories, articles, devotions, and grants. As a dedicated animal rescuer for over thirty years, she often shares her unique experiences with mammals, birds, and reptiles. Her recently published children’s book, Saving Schmiddy, recounts (in the voice of her son) a life-changing adventure with an injured speckled kingsnake.
Through her education company, Life with Animals, Andi promotes the wonder and value of all creatures-domestic, wild, or exotic- and our responsibility to care for them. She wrote the land grant proposal that established the ARK: Arkabutla Lake Wildlife Rehabilitation and Nature Center in North MS.
