The authorship story
Letting Ana Go was published in 2013 as the anonymous diary of a teenage runner whose calorie tracking slides into anorexia, part of a line of 'Anonymous' diary novels descended from Go Ask Alice. No author has been identified in the documented record, and the publisher has never credited one; the anonymity is a packaging convention of the genre, presenting fiction in the dress of a found document. Consistent with this site's standards, the entry reports that record as it stands: byline Anonymous, author unidentified, and no speculation offered.
