I found out about Anthony through the National Association of Science Writers (NASW), because he generously donated his time to be interviewed by an NASW member for a 3 part series of articles on legal considerations for freelance science writers. He was very thorough and endeavored to keep his charges to a minimum, and was very good about explaining the ins and outs of the law to me. I would highly recommend his services to any freelance writer who has concerns about contracts.”
