MLA Basics

What is MLA format?

MLA style is the citation and formatting system published by the Modern Language Association, most often used for literature, English, and humanities papers. Getting the MLA paper format right means three things line up: your page layout, your in-text citations, and your Works Cited page.

MLA paper format

Times New Roman 12pt, double-spaced, 1-inch margins on all sides, a half-inch first-line indent, and a running header with your last name and page number.

MLA in-text citations

Sources are cited in the text with the author’s last name and a page number, like (Smith 23), pointing the reader straight to a matching Works Cited entry.

MLA Works Cited page

A separate page listing every source alphabetically by author, with a hanging indent and each entry formatted to current MLA rules.

Getting all three right by hand is tedious, and small MLA referencing mistakes are easy to miss in your own writing. Our MLA formatting services pair MLA citation help with hands-on MLA style editing, so your paper matches current guidelines from the first page to the last Works Cited entry.
