Terri Windling is a writer and editor in the field of fantasy literature, where she has long been an advocate of Interstitial Arts. She is also a visual artist, folklorist, and the director The Endicott Studio, an organization for creative artists whose work is rooted in myth and folklore. She is the co-founder (with Delia Sherman and Ellen Kushner) of Endicott West, a Writers/Artists Retreat in Tucson, Arizona. She has been a Consulting Editor for Tor Books in New York City since 1986.

As a writer, she has published several books including The Wood Wife (for adult readers, winner of the Mythopoeic Award for Novel of the Year) and The Winter Child (for children, with art by Wendy Froud). Her short stories and articles (on myth, fairy tales, fantasy literature, and art history) have appeared in magazines, essay collections, and art publications in the U.S. and abroad. As a visual artist, her paintings and collages  —  inspired by myth, folklore, and women's history  —  have been exhibited in galleries and museums in the U.S., England, and France.

As an editor, she has published over thirty anthologies, many of them in partnership with Ellen Datlow, including the Snow White, Blood Red series (for adult readers), The Green Man (for teenagers, winner of the 2002 World Fantasy Award for Best Anthology), and Swan Sister (for children). She edited the fantasy half of The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror annual volumes from St. Martin's Press for sixteen years, championing an Interstitial approach to the writing, editing, and reading of fantastic literature. She has won seven World Fantasy Awards and the Bram Stoker Award; she's also been nominated for the British Fantasy Award and short-listed for the Tiptree Award. Her work has been translated into French, German, Spanish, Czech, and Korean. She sits on the Executive Board of the Interstitial Arts Foundation, and on the Advisory Board of the Mythic Imaginations Institute.
