Hi all,

An author friend has a question regarding a post on a blog. I’m copying the question but I am not including any names to protect privacy of all involved.

If you have any input, please post here.

This is the question:

Question for the Hivemind: Someone has published a letter that I wrote on his blog without my permission. Initially, he linked to my website. I think he thought he was doing me a favor because he let me know about the post.

When I told him that I did not grant him permission to publish it, he removed my name and the link to my website, but I am not satisfied with that. I want him to remove the entire post. When I explained why, he removed additional bits of my letter, but I'm still not satisfied. I didn't give him permission to publish any of it. What can I do?

Thanks,

Bev Bjorklund
