Variation of Chicago Style

ASOAK7
My college uses Diana Hacker's chapter on Chicago Style from her "Pocket Style Manual" as our formatting "Bible." In that chapter, she says to format Chicago Style citations like this:

1. Shelby Foote, The Civil War, a Narrative: Red River to Appomattox (New York: Vintage, 1986), 110.

And Chicago Style bibliographies like this:

Foote, Shelby. The Civil War, a Narrative: Red River to Appomattox. New York: Vintage, 1986.

When I use the given Chicago Style format in Zotero, I get this for a citation:

John Milton, and David Scott Kastan. Paradise Lost. 3rd edition. Indianapolis: Hackett Publishing Co., 2005.

And this for a bibliography:

Milton, John, and David Scott Kastan. Paradise Lost. 3rd edition. Indianapolis: Hackett Publishing Co., 2005.

Is there any way for me to create a custom citation style that adheres to Hacker's version of Chicago Style?

    No, that's not what Zotero would produce for a Chicago Manual of Style citation of the book.

    Chicago's output is:

    Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe, Hegemony & Socialist Strategy: Towards a Radical Democratic Politics (London and New York: Verso, 1985)

    which best I can tell is exactly what you want. How are you generating your citation?
  • ASOAK7
    I drag the book from Zotero to my Pages document. I have tested all of the Chicago Style formats using this method.

    dragging doesn't give you a citation, it gives you bibliography format. If you want citation format, hold down the "Shift" key while you drag.
