- Always capitalize the names of people, places, and organizations.

- Book titles follow title case rules: capitalize major words (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns) and the first and last words.
- Articles (*a*, *an*, *the*), short prepositions (*of*, *on*, *to*, etc.), and coordinating conjunctions (*and*, *but*) are lowercase unless they're the first or last word.
- Always check for correct spelling of titles — e.g., “Diary” not “Olory”.
