How did this come about? She said literature was basically a culture of creation and reading based on letters that have traveled through a cultural journey of centuries. "Literature is attached to writing, if necessary handwriting," she said. This notion has seen Ana fall in love with literature at a young age. When her career in the financial services industry peaked as she was named one of the directors of a company, Ana felt there was something missing in her life. In her "alienation", Ana closely observed the dynamics of literature in the country. After retiring from her company, Ana turned to literature. She "struggled" to provide a space of expression for writers and artists.
