From 1986 to 2003, Windling worked a lot with Ellen Datlow. Together, they edited 16 volumes of Year's Best Fantasy and Horror, an anthology that reached beyond the boundaries of genre fantasy to incorporate magic realism, surrealism, poetry, and other forms of magical literature. During her career, she was also the co-editor (with Midori Snyder) of The Journal of Mythic Arts from 1987 until it ceased publication in 2008.
Currently, Windling works as a freelance writer and editor and is the founder of the Endicott Studio, an organization dedicated to myth-inspired arts, which exists since 1987. As an artist, Windling specializes in work inspired by myth, folklore, and fairy tales. Her art has been exhibited across the US, as well as in the UK and France. She also sits on the board of the Mythic Imagination Institute.
In May 2016, Windling gave the fourth annual Tolkien Lecture at Pembroke College, Oxford, speaking on the topic of fantasy literature in the post-Tolkien era.

As a writer, she specializes in fantasy literature and has published mythic fiction for both adults and young adults, as well as magical picture books for children. Her essays on myth, folklore, fantasy literature and mythic arts have appeared in magazines, art books and anthologies in the United States and Europe, and she has contributed to reference volumes including The Oxford Companion to Fairy Tales and Panorama illustré de la fantasy & du merveilleux.
During her long career as an editor, Windling has published numerous anthologies for adult, young adult, and middle-grade readers -- many of them co-edited with Ellen Datlow and created around myth and fairy tale themes. Windling also created the Bordertown series of books for teen readers, a pioneering work in the urban fantasy genre.
