It can be confusing to know when you should be using italics and quotation marks in titles. A general rule to go by is that short titles and sections of works, such as a chapter title in a book or an episode of a TV show, use quotation marks, while larger titles or works, such as the name of a book or an album, are italicized. However, it may depend on the style of writing you're following, so let's take a closer look at different formats.

Use quotation marks for the following:

Book chapters

Names of video games

Single episodes of TV and radio shows

Unpublished writing such as manuscripts or lectures

Album tracks or singles

Podcast episodes

Short stories and poems
