What To Capitalize In Titles

290 views

I understand that you are supposed to capitalize the first letter, as well as “main” words. What I don’t quite get is what am I supposed to not capitalize. Especially, verbs and prepositions.

To? In? Through? Except? Are? Is? Into?

Publishers will use different style guides, but generally:
Capitalize the first and words of the title (and subtitle if present)
Capitalize all other words except articles, coordinating conjunctions, and prepositions

So if your list was a title, it would go To (first word) in (preposition) through (preposition) except (if used as a preposition or) Except (if used as a noun, uncommon) Are (verb) Is (verb) Into (last word)
