Let’s talk about commas, periods, and that sneaky little “and.” In MLA, you use a period after the first author’s initial (if there’s a middle initial), and a comma between authors. But the final comma before “and” is optional (yes, Oxford comma fans, MLA is non-judgmental).
For example: Miller, Joseph R., and Sarah Lee. Or: Miller, Joseph R. and Sarah Lee. Choose your destiny! Just be consistent—like your favorite pizza topping order.
And remember: no semicolons in author names. Semicolons are for fancy emails and academic poetry. Keep it simple with commas and periods.
