Terri Windling is an editor, writer, artist, and folklorist.

Through her work as a editor associated with Ace Books in the early 1980s and, later, with Tor Books, Windling championed a new direction in fantasy publishing based on myth, folklore, and fairy tales.

Between 1981 and 1984, Windling and Mark Alan Arnold edited three volumes of the fantasy anthology Elsewhere, which featured a mixture of short stories and poems, illustrated by Windling; the initial volume won Windling the first of seven World Fantasy Awards.

Windling conceived both the Liavek shared universe and the Borderland urban fantasy world "where Elfland meets rock-and-roll".

With artist Thomas Canty, Windling packaged the the Fairy Tales series of novels by Steven Brust, Pamela Dean, Jane Yolen, Patricia C. Wrede, Charles de Lint, and others.

From 1986 to 2003, Windling co-edited annual volumes of The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror with Ellen Datlow. Datlow and Windling also edited the Snow White, Blood Red series of original stories.

Windling's first novel, The Wood Wife (1996), won the Mythopoeic Award for best fantasy novel.

Windling also writes picture books for children, including Good Faeries/Bad Faeries with Brian Froud and The Winter Childe with Wendy Froud. Her essays on folklore and related subjects have appeared in Realms of Fantasy magazine.

Windling is the founder of the Endicott Studio for the Mythic Arts, and has homes in Devon, England, and Tucson, Arizona.
