Welcome Jed Doherty to the TufFish Show, a place to help writers and aspiring authors get out of their own way to leave a legacy by telling the stories they want to share through writing their own books and confidently sharing them with others. The writing process can be tough and the business side can feel scary, but TufFish makes both feel smoother and achievable.

Jed\'s passion to serve children has been the driver for all that he\'s done. During our chat, Jed shared the process he went through to take his children\'s book idea to an actual book. He shared what it was like working with an illustrator and tips for strengthening a story that\'s for children.
