Support the Artist
Please consider supporting María Fernanda’s writing practice as she is a literary artist, full-time. You may support her in the following ways:
Select one of the following poetry items that are part of her literary practice and send the name of the item with the corresponding amount, i.e., “Notebook $25,” to “MaríaFernanda Poet” on the following platform:
Notebook — $25.00 — For years, María Fernanda has tested a variety of notebooks. This amount is the cost of a notebook that has lasted her for at least fifteen years and more. She goes through multiple notebooks a year.
G2 07/05/0.38 Pens — $19.99 — Similar to her notebooks, María Fernanda has tested pens with ink that does not fade over time.
Public Transit $2.90 - $6.75 — María Fernanda uses public transit in major cities across the United States to attend poetry performances and programs. This range covers the minimum amount in DC, Chicago, LA and New York City.
Cortadito — $4.50 — María Fernanda often meets with clients over coffee to discuss a project's early stage. Since artists are often paid invoice to invoice, getting a coffee for every initial meeting adds up. This is not a need, however coffee does contribute to her practice.
