Help On MLA

I find MLA formatting easier now since we have been going over it in class and it is not so difficult anymore. I do still have trouble with MLA Works Cited page it confuses me between the author or the publisher and after I put it in citation machine it gets simple at the same time but it is not arranged as it is supposed to be so I have to fix it and try not to have any typos. If I do have a typo then everything messes up, so I prefer going over the citations in class a little more because I see how it is being done.
