1. Always italicize book titles and put short story titles in double quotation marks: "Hills Like White Elephants" appears in the collection Men without Women. 2. How to cite mss and tss from the Kennedy Library: In-line citation: In the first draft of the story, Nick is named "Mike" (KL/EH 424, 5). [Translation: Kennedy Library/Ernest Hemingway Collection, FILE #424, PAGE 5.] Works cited: Hemingway, Ernest. Untitled manuscript. Ernest Hemingway Collection, File #424. John F. Kennedy Library, Boston. [Translation: Here, Untitled manuscript could be: Untitled manuscript, untitled typescript, untitled manuscript fragment, or "Cross-Country Snow" - or whatever the title is on the draft you're looking at.] 3. If your story has more than one draft: your first responsibility is going to be to figure out the composition order of the drafts. The Kennedy File #s DO NOT indicate composition order!! That's their cataloging system and it indicates nothing whatsoever other than which file # the paper is contained in in their vault. 4. Remember the pet peeve promise: If everyone in the class avoids the common errors of "its/it's" transposition, "their/they're/there" transposition, and "possessive/plural" transposition, everyone in the class gets four extra points on the final project.
