  1. Capitalize the first and last words of the title, as well as all other words except for articles (a, an, the), coordinating conjunctions (and, but, or), and prepositions (in, on, at, to, etc.). For example, the title "The Great Gatsby" should be written as "The Great Gatsby" in the essay.
  2. If the title of the book is part of a larger work (such as a chapter in a book), put the title of the book in quotation marks and the title of the larger work in italics. For example, if you are writing about Chapter 3 of "The Great Gatsby," you would write it as "Chapter 3: 'The Great Gatsby'" in the essay.
  3. If the title of the book is a foreign language phrase, you should write it in its original language, followed by the English translation in parentheses. For example, if the book is called "La vie en rose" in French, you would write it as "La vie en rose (Life in Pink)" in the essay.
  4. If you are referring to the title of the book in the essay (rather than the title of the essay itself), you should use the title of the book in italics, followed by the page number(s) you are referring to in parentheses. For example, if you are discussing a specific scene from "The Great Gatsby" on page 45, you would write it as "In The Great Gatsby (45), the characters attend a party at Gatsby's mansion."
