Terri Windling's many accomplishments include editing (and often discovering) a pantheon of new fantasy writers--Steven Brust, Emma Bull, Charles de Lint, Jane Yolen, and many more. She edits, with Ellen Datlow, the indispensible annual Year's Best Fantasy and Horror and the acclaimed revisionist fairy-tale anthology series that began with Snow White, Blood Red. She has won the World Fantasy Award seven times. The Wood Wife was the winner of the 1997 Mythopoeic Award for Best Novel.
Terri is the founder of the Endicott Studio for Mythic Arts, and the co-founder of Endicott West, an arts retreat in Tucson, Arizona. She sits on the advisory boards of Firebird Books (New York) and the Mythic Imagination Institute (Atlanta, Georgia). Terri is also an artist, creating "folkloric" paintings inspired by myth, fairy tales, and women's history. Her art has been exhibited in galleries and museums in the U.S. and abroad, including The Boston Museum of Fine Arts, The West Virginia Museum of Art, The Words and Pictures Museum, The Book Arts Gallery, The Tucson Museum of Contemporary Art, The Mythic Garden (England),and Abbaye Daoulas (France). She is a member of the Toolshed Studios in Tucson, where each winter she shares studio space with sculptor Beckie Kravetz.
Terri was raised in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and has lived in Mexico, Ohio, London, Dublin, New York City, and Boston. Since 1990 she has divided her time between two homes: a sixteenth century stone cottage in Devon, England and a winter retreat in the Arizona desert. In addition to all things mythic, she's fond of world music, Arts & Crafts design, literary biographies, strong coffee, motorcycle rides at dusk, and traveling around Europe in search of all of the above.
