Tara Gallagher was a production manager, typesetter, and layout artist for FASA during the 1980s. While with the company, she worked primarily on their Star Trek line, but once the company lost the license in 1988, she moved on to work with FASA's Shadowrun line, doing similar work, but also doing some interior artwork and editing when needed. She also contributed some writing to the Star Trek IV Sourcebook Update.
