If you’re writing a paper according to MLA style, you will need a title page that adheres to the current guidelines put forth by the Modern Language Association. Here’s how to make a title page for your MLA paper:
• Start with the heading. The title page should include a heading that consists of your name (or the name of the person or group submitting the paper), your instructor’s name, your class information, and the paper’s due date. Place this heading in the top-left corner of the page.
• Place a running head. Place a running head (or a shortened version of the title of the paper) in the upper-right corner of the page. This should be no more than 50 characters, including punctuation and spaces.
• Add the title of the paper. Make sure to center the title of the paper in the middle of the page, below the heading. The title should be in the same font as the rest of the paper, with no special formatting.
• Include your name. Place your name in the upper-right corner, below the running head. This should be written in the same font as the rest of the paper, without any special formatting.
• Add an image. If you would like to include an image in the title page, you can do so in the lower-right corner of the page. Keep in mind that the MLA does not require any special formatting for images.
