Plagiarism Today Plagiarized in a Plagiarism Atonement Essay
Jonathan Bailey May 9, 2022

Not bad, but I would have gone with a headline like “Plagiarist Plagiarizes Plagiarism Today in Her Plagiarism Atonement Essay (That Was Plagiarized).”

… In Google News, I ran across an article written by author Jumi Bello

Jumi Bello is a Person of Intersectionality.


entitled, “I Plagiarized Parts of My Debut Novel. Here’s Why.”

Looking at the comparisons, it’s pretty obvious that she copied my words and then rewrote them to fit her style and message. Specifically, she’d actually copied from two articles I wrote on that subject, one for my site in 2011 and another for Turnitin in 2019

In short, Bello, an author who admitted to plagiarizing in her now-cancelled debut novel, wrote an article about the experience and, in that article, included poor paraphrasing without attribution of an article that I wrote over a decade ago.

It’s a moment that even 16 years of work in this field did not prepare me for.
