Tad’s multifaceted career includes decades of work supporting writers and artists, notably as co-author of The Writer’s Legal Guide: An Authors Guild Desk Reference, a foundational resource on copyright, contracts, and publishing law. His background as an advocate for creators informs this deeply personal and literary conversation.
