have you ever had to write a paper on a personal intervieW?
im pretty confused my guide and the internet wont really specify how im supposed to do it so im not sure if i should be citing after each sentence because it is all abou twhat she said or if i just need one reference at the end...
i feel like MLa works way better for this kindof thing but my teacher specified apa im confuuused

I can't imagine any system that asks you to constantly confirm your source when your source is the interview that is the subject of the whole paper.

best bet is to email the prof. if your confused about specific citation requirements...some are much more lenient then others.

interview, APA:

In APA, personal communications including interviews do not appear in the reference list. They are cited only in an intext reference: (L. Pennington, personal communication, April 20, 1993).

some crappy 1st year english book I kept because it's got a section giving a huge breakdown of MLA and APA formatting. MLA you *do* have to cite it outside of the paper as well, though.
