È nata a Seattle, Washington, ed è cresciuta in California. Dopo essersi diplomata al liceo all'età di quindici anni, ha conseguito una laurea in Classici, con un focus sulla linguistica del greco antico, all'UC San Diego ed all'Università di Edimburgo.
Valente ha avuto una carriera variegata, avendo lavorato come una cartomante professionista, telemarketer, tutor privato, bibliotecaria, cameriera, barista, attrice e statistica. Ha una prospettiva globale, avendo vissuto in diversi luoghi, tra cui California, Chicago, Giappone, Australia e Melbourne. Attualmente, risiede in una piccola isola al largo della costa del Maine con il suo partner e un numero crescente di animali.
Valente ha scritto più di ventiquattro libri e ha pubblicato numerose storie brevi e poesie, che si possono trovare online e in varie riviste e antologie. Ha ricevuto diversi premi prestigiosi, tra cui il Locus e il Best Novella award, ed è stata nominata per i Western novella e Nebula awards. Uno dei suoi romanzi è stato opzionato per un film da un importante regista russo.
Lo stile di scrittura di Valente è noto per la sua narrazione immaginativa e unica, ed è stata riconosciuta come autrice bestseller del New York Times. I suoi lavori includono la serie Fairyland, nonché romanzi indipendenti come Palimpsest, Deathless e Radiance. Ha anche vinto diversi premi, tra cui il Andre Norton, Tiptree, Mythopoeic, Rhysling, Lambda, Locus e Hugo awards. Nonostante il suo successo, conduce una vita semplice su un'isola al largo della costa del Maine con il suo partner e una moltitudine di animali.
