Allegations of Plagiarism[]
In November 2020, Beveridge was the subject of alleged plagiarism after admitting to "borrowing from the work of other poets without attribution.", according to Write Out Loud, who reported on the discovery first found by Ira Lightman and published in the newspaper, The Australian[7] before being reported in The Telegraph.[8] The post goes on to quote Beveridge: "In a letter to Lightman obtained by The Australian, Beveridge agrees that in her early years ‘she had not always been rigorous about noting a phrase I have jotted down or adapted into a poem’, adding: ‘I deeply regret not being more scrupulous’."[9]
