NEW YORK (AP) — An author’s online essay about why she used plagiarized material in a novel released earlier this year has itself been removed after publishers discovered she had again recovered material.
“I plagiarized parts of my first novel by Jumi Bello. Here’s Why” briefly appeared Monday on https://lithub.com. Bello’s debut novel, “The Leaving,” was slated for release in July, but was canceled in February by Riverhead Books.
