Lena Dunham's representatives are looking into legal action after her book pitch was leaked onto the net.

The 26-year-old "Girls" creator's book pitch was leaked on Friday and posted by celebrity gossip site, Gawker.

The site published portions of the 66-page manuscript that brought on a $3.7 million book deal with Random House that was set in October.

The legal team for Dunham wrote a cease and desist letter to the celebrity rumor site calling for the immediate removal of the leaked documents which were originally posted as a downloadable Scribd file.

Gawker took the posted leaked pages off their site of the "advice book" after they were threatened with legal action from Dunham's attorneys. Buzzfeed also deleted the images from a post titled "9 Passages From Lena Dunham's Book Proposal Illustrated By Her Instagrams."

Although the proposed book pitch was taken off the site, many people have already gotten a chance to look at it and it may appear again in another form online.

While John Cook, a writer for Gawker, got rid of the proposal, he didn't get rid of the quotes taken from his original blog that come from Dunham's work, according to Entertainment Weekly.

Cook also has put commentary against Dunham's legal representatives, Harder and Dunham, by putting additional comments attached to the quoted excerpts.

One of the examples of the writer's comments reads: "Lena Dunham's personal litigation counsel Charles Harder has contacted Gawker to relay a demand from his client, Lena Dunham, that we remove the above quote from our web site. In order to clarify our intent in quoting the above matter from Dunham's proposal, we have decided to append the following commentary: The quoted sentence is indicative of a nauseating and cloying posture of precociousness that permeates the entire proposal."

The next season of "Girls" returns to HBO on Jan 13, 2013.
