MLA Formatting · Quick Guide
Based on general MLA 9 conventions. Always check your instructor's specific requirements.
- Use a readable 12-point font (often Times New Roman), double-space throughout, and use 1-inch margins.
- Place your name, instructor, course, and date at the top left unless instructed otherwise.
- Center your paper's title; avoid unnecessary bold or underlining.
- Use your last name and page number in the running header.
- For an author with page numbers, parenthetical citations commonly look like (Morrison 42).
- Put Works Cited on a new page, centered, with alphabetized entries and a hanging indent.
- Every quoted or paraphrased source needs appropriate attribution. Verify all source details against the actual publication.
