Stuck on Sets Challenge Java Data Structures

I cannot figure out what is wrong with my code. Has been frustrating me for the past couple of days. The challenge is as follows:

I've added a new class called Blog. It is initialized with a list of blog posts. Create a method in the Blog class called getAllAuthors that loops all the posts and returns a java.util.Set of all the authors. They should be sorted alphabetically. My code is as follows:

package com.example;

import java.util.List;
import java.util.Set;

public class Blog {
  List<BlogPost> mPosts;

  public Blog(List<BlogPost> posts) {
    mPosts = posts;
  }

  public List<BlogPost> getPosts() {
    return mPosts;
  }

public Set<String> getAllAuthors(){
    Set<String> authors = new TreeSet();
    for (BlogPost posts:mPosts){
      authors.add(posts.getAuthor());
    }
    return authors;
  }
}

Don't forget to import your TreeSet.
