Citations for a single work throughout essay:


If the entire essay is about one book, e.g. Carrie only and there are no other sources used, a Footnote or Endnote
is needed only for the first quotation as follows:

Stephen King, Carrie (New York: New American, 1974) 40.

All subsequent quotations are from this edition.

After this, it is only necessary to supply the page number of the text:

Sheriff Otis Doyle testified that Miss Snell told him that

"Carrie did it. Carrie did it." (198)

Sources used more than once:

1. If a source was footnoted earlier, you can use a shortened Footnote or Endnote providing only the author's
surname and the reference page number:

1
King 197.

2. When two or more books by the same author are used as reference material, or there are sources by two or
more authors with the same last name, include the short title or an abbreviated form of the title:

2
King, Fire-Starter 279.
2
King, It 13.
