Follow these rules of form for titles
Seven ways to edit yourself

Before submitting a final manuscript, review these rules for titles:

1. The title of a book-length manuscript should be typed on a separate page, together with the author’s name. Set the title at the very center of the page. The author’s name goes below the title.

2. Titles of short manuscripts should be centered at the top of the first page of your paper or story.

3. Capitalize titles in the following manner:

Educated: A Memoir

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

Of Mice and Men

Prepositions that have fewer than four letters should not be capitalized unless they are the first word of the title. Similarly, only capitalize definite and indefinite articles if they are the first word of the title.

4. Use italics for titles of books, magazines, movies, and plays.

5. Use quotation marks around the titles of articles, short stories, poems, songs, and other short pieces of writing.
