Do you have questions about APA Style? Don’t be afraid to ask! We’re lurking on Twitteropens in new window, Facebookopens in new window, Instagramopens in new window, and APA Style Expert emailopens in new window, and maybe even in the comments below!

And, we’re not scared to admit that we have some questions for you:

  • Copyeditors: What parts of APA Style do you find most devilishly challenging to implement? What seemingly ghosted topics do you wish were included in the guidelines?

While we await your comments, please enjoy this frighteningly random collection of references, demonstrating the reference format for movies, books, journal articles, illustrated children’s books, and songs:
