APA Writing Help
There are a number of sites dedicated to assisting writers with the elusive 6th edition of APA. As a technical writer (thanks to my dissertation journey), I have found this site to be wonderful: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/
The authors do an excellent job of giving visual and explicit written instructions. The response time from the Help Department is usually less than 24 hours. The creators of the site generously share copyright with educators who ask. Best of all: FREE! As another bonus, this site also features information on MLA style.
Another site that can be helpful, mostly because of the blog attached to it is: http://www.apastyle.org/
The only negative to this site is also the blog. Sometimes people just post to complain without really looking for an answer, and that can get annoying.
Both sites should be able to answer any of your APA writing questions.
