Martha Moody was one of the best Pitchapalooza panelists we ever had. Sharp, insightful, wise, yet kind, she was a veritable font of excellent information. Besides being an author of three excellent books, Sometimes Mine, The Office of Desire, and Best Friends, she is also a doctor, and does lots of give-back work, volunteering as medical director at a clinic for the working poor.
Her advise to aspiring writers: Two paragraphs a day. Words to live by.
