When you’ve got two authors, treat them like a dynamic duo. In your in-text citation, you write both last names connected by the word “and.” For example: (Smith and Jones 45). It’s as simple as saying, “Hey, Sally and Tom made this point together.”
In your Works Cited list, you write: Smith, John, and Sarah Jones. That’s it. No weird punctuation games—just a friendly comma and the word “and” doing the heavy lifting.
