    Larson-Dorland plagiarism and defamation controversy

    GrubStreet faced scrutiny over a dispute involving Sonya Larson, then director of the Muse Conference, and Dawn Dorland, a former student and instructor. Dorland alleged that a letter she wrote was used in Larson's short story, while Larson brought a defamation suit. Public reporting also examined communications among GrubStreet personnel and leaders. After an internal response and third-party review, GrubStreet announced leadership departures involving Larson, Alison Murphy, and board member Jennifer De Leon.
