Go to the citation machine it explains it and will even do it if you put in all the information.

    Well, there are two standard styles, or ‘formats’, of that can be used: MLA and APA.

    I’m just going to assume that your instructor prefers MLA, as most probably do. Then, I am going to assume that you are citing a book: a work with an author and an editor, as there are many different things you could cite in your End-of-Text Citations page.

    I do not want to confuse you, so I will use an example (out of a college Composition book that I use.):

    Frankfurter, Felix. The Diaries of Felix
    Frankfurter. Ed. Thomas Sayres. Boston:
    Norton, 1975.

    1st= Author’s last name (comma), author’s first name (period).
    2nd= Title of short work (underlined; followed by a period).
    3rd= Abbreviations ‘Ed.’ (if more than one editor; Ed. stands for "edited by"), names of editors; first, then last name format.
    4th= Place of publication (colon):
    5th= Shortened name of publisher (comma),
    6th= Year of publication (period).

    Yes, I would list all of the editor’s names in your Works Cited. Lastly, do not forget to indent all lines after first line, as I did in the example, 5 spaces.

    I hope this helped you out!
