I believe the answer is:

rider haggard

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'writer's' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'drawn on amendment to legal document' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'drawn' could be 'haggard' (synonyms) and 'haggard' is located in the answer.
'amendment' could be 'rider' (amendment to a contract) and 'rider' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
