Hi Kristin,
The asterisks, whether it is only one or three, should be on a line by
themselves. For example:
text
*
text
or
text
* * *
text
Does that make sense.
The three asterisks are used to indicate a scene change. The single asterisk is
used in a few situations--between stanzas of poetry, between a quote at the
beginning of a chapter and the rest of the page, or at the beginning and end of
a letter.
It sounds like the submitter knew what he/she was doing, so I'd probably leave
the asterisks alone.
Asterisks are also used to indicate a footnote at the bottom of a page, but
that doesn't sound like what you have.

Hi Kristin,Hey there everyone again!
You can read about why these symbols (asterisks) are being used in your book
in the proofing manual at https://www.bookshare.org/cms/proofreading-home
Look in the section "Blank Pages, spaces and Lines. Specifically, read
numbers 5 and 6 in this section.
If you still have questions, let us know.

Hey there everyone!
Hopefully everyone is having a great day here at bks! Say I am
currently working on The Others By Kristin Bryant and I have a quick
question in regards to a certain symbol that is appearing in this
book. I looked at the guidelines last evening and I didn't find
anything about how we are suppose to address symbols like *which is
the shift along with the number eight on the top row of the keyboard.
So my question is am I suppose to have a certain number of break marks
around the *? Also sometimes I'm seeing one * and sometimes I'm seeing
three stars in a row like this of ***. Are there any specific
guidelines to how we are to handle these type of symbols? Here's what
I'm running into of there will be some text then the * and then more
text which right now I'm placing two break marks or returns before and
after the stars here. Any help would be greatly appreciated to how I'm
suppose to deal with this type of symbol that is appearing in this
book. Thanks for everyones help with this one and I do hope everyone
is having a great day!
Thanks
Kristin
