Collect the necessary information. You need the authors of the essay, the title of the essay, the page numbers and the publication information. If the essay came from an edited book or anthology, you need the book title and editor as well.
Cite multiple authors in-text by listing the authors' last names and the page number in parentheses. For example: (Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe 39).
Cite the essay on the works cited page as author, title, book title (in italics), editors, publisher, publishing date, the page numbers and the medium. For example: Dewey, Adam, Henry Cheatham, and Donald Howe. "What Not to Name a Law Firm." Lawyer Humor: Essays on Traditional Lawyer Jokes. Ed. James Smith: Chicago: Laughter Publishing House, 2003. 72-83. Print.
