Writing titles of books in MLA style can be a bit tricky, as certain blog posts, newspapers, and other sources may have their own rules for formatting titles, but there are some general rules you can follow. Here are a few tips:
Capitalize the first word, all major words, and any other significant words in the title.
Make sure to use italics for the titles of longer works, such as books and journals.
For shorter works, such as poems or short stories, put quotation marks around the title.
If a title is part of a larger work, such as an article from a newspaper or an essay in a book, put the title in quotation marks and the larger work in italics.
Here is an example of the title of a book written in MLA:
The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger.
