To make an APA title page for an essay, you need to include a running head, a page number, the title of the essay, and the author’s name.
If you are writing a professional paper for school, you will want to make sure your title page follows the style guidelines of the American Psychological Association (APA). The following is what your APA title page should look like:
Running Head: Your running head should be no more than 50 characters long, including punctuation and should be placed in the upper-left corner of your page. It should be a shortened version of your essay's title in all caps.
Page Number: The page number should be in the upper-right corner of your page and should not include any extra text or symbols.
Title: The title of your essay should be placed in the center of the page, halfway down, and should be preceded by the words “Running Head:” and be in all caps.
Author Line: Below the title, include the following line: By Author’s Name. Replace Author’s Name with your name.
After you've created the title page, don't forget to review your essay for accuracy and correctness before submitting it. Good luck!
