Punctuate That Title
[found on thepunctuationguide.com]
“Titles of works
The titles of certain works are indicated with quotation marks, others with italics, and yet others with regular type.
The style presented here is consistent with The Chicago Manual of Style (16th ed.) and the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (7th ed.), and is appropriate for most academic and professional writing. Newspapers tend to favor quotation marks in place of italics for most titles.”
