Other
We can know María Fernanda Ampuero through her writings, which are based on contemporary Ecuadorian literature, the cause of several publications in the last 20 years. It relates her desire to extend beyond the borders with her publications and books based on her support, most importantly, the quality of works and not the prestige of María Fernanda. In her words she emphasizes that "the most important thing is to write well and nothing else", not to try to represent anyone.

For a writer, the difference between writing beautifully and writing the truth is such a strong dilemma, since, from the very beginners to those who already have several publications face this problem. However, what she seeks to sow in her writings is for readers to realize how interesting it is; the Chronicle (journalistic genre) or Non fiction (literature). On the other hand, she notes that the best way to live is reading, and that for her and for every writer there is nothing better than giving people the chance to find themselves and the world in a book.

In her workshops, María Fernanda Ampuero looks for ways to approach "atrocious" issues such as cases of sexual harassment of minors, cases of rape, cases of femicide, cases of domestic violence. She underlines that it is not easy to publish these topics to reach the readers since it involves drawing a very intense line between journalism and yellowism. The aim is to use the best available tools so that the story touches the reader and turns his or her reality into reality, and so that these "atrocious" situations change for the future. This should be done Off the record, without anyone manipulating or having to say how it should be said.
