| Terri Windling |
 Terri Windling is a writer, a painter, and a Consulting Editor for Tor Books in New York City -- best known for her two decades of editorial work in the field of fantasy literature, where she is one of the people responsible for the steady rise of contemporary mythic fiction, "urban fantasy," and modern literary fairy tales for adult readers. She is a founding member of the Young Trollopes movement, and a passionate advocate of Interstitial Arts.
In recent years, she has begun to spend less time behind-the-scenes as an editor and more time writing fiction of her own, as well as creating visual art inspired by myth, folklore, and women's history. She has published over twenty-five books, including The Wood Wife (a Mythic novel set in contemporary Tucson, Arizona), A Midsummer Night's Faery Tale (a picture book with artist Wendy Froud), the six-volume Snow White, Blood Red series (literary fairy tales for adult readers), and The Armless Maiden (literary fairy tales addressing the subject of child abuse) -- as well as short stories, children's
fiction, a regular column on folklore for Realms of Fantasy magazine, and
the annual The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror volumes (with horror editor Ellen Datlow). She has won six World Fantasy Awards, and the 1997 Mythopoeic Award for Best Novel of the Year. As a painter, she has exhibited work in galleries and museums across the U.S. and abroad, including the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the West Virginia Museum of Art, the University of Arizona Museum of Art, the Book Arts Gallery, and the Words and Pictures Museum.
"I was raised in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, left home at fifteen, and spent the rest of my teenage years wandering through Mexico, Yellow Springs (Ohio), Boston, London, and Dublin. In the 1980s, I worked as a Senior Editor in the New York publishing industry, living at various times in apartments on Staten Island (with Mark Alan Arnold and Robin McKinley), the Upper West Side (with Ellen Kushner), and above a rather seedy Indian restaurant in the East Village. I then spent a few years commuting between New York City and Boston, editing countless manuscripts on the train ride in between.
"These days I'm as settled as an incorrigible vagabond can be, dividing my time (in a somewhat longer commute) between a 16th-century cottage on Dartmoor and a winter retreat in the Arizona desert. In addition to all things mythic, I'm deeply fond of world music, Arts-and-Crafts design, literary biographies, strong coffee, motorcycle rides at dusk, and traveling around Europe in search of all of the above."
