Plagiarized
“This story is the original work of the author. Any resemblance with any person living or dead are purely coincidental”
She read it again. It was no coincidence. The story in the book was the same as the one she’d submitted a few months ago. The publisher was the same. The author’s name wasn’t hers.

Oh no! This is so terrible. Plagiarism is so rampant everywhere, right ? Few don’t even realize they are copying others work without giving credits.
Btw, I love it how you shared a strong message in a few words.
Yes it is rampant and it is time that we bloggers need to protect our content. Thank you Ramya 🙂
I remember something similar happened to one of the bloggers last year. The concept of her manuscript was plagiarized and reworded. How could one live with themselves after such deceit?
It is so bad right! And some people have no regrets doing it!

Ps… couldn’t submit comment because WordPress kept throwing duplicate comment
Ouch! That must hurt!
Love the punch your 55-er packed!
Thank you Mayuri!
Short and sweet yet address such an important issue!
Thank you Shalini!
There are many times when such things happen in the publishing industry and sadly at most times it goes unnoticed.
Yes, that is the sad part!
Ah! So relevant in today’s times.
Agree with you Soumya!
It’s a true tale I remember about someone on my TL and a big author stole her works. It’s so sad and unethical in this online world.
Yes, it is so bad!
