Getting the Capitalizations Right in Titles
What exactly are the rules for what should and should not be capitalized in titles? Sometimes I find myself confused. Thanks in advance.

In British English, there are no universally accepted rules. We generally capitalise the first letter of the first word and of nouns, adjectives. verbs and adverbs, but not of prepositions, conjunctions or determiners.

There are the same slight inconsistencies in AmE. Check with your own instructor or publisher for individual titles.
