Hi Lorri,
Those punctuation marks need to be left alone; in other words, no spaces.
They’re supposed to indicate a pause in the text. HTH!

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Proofreading question
I am currently proofreading my first book going step by step through the guide.
I have come across numerous hyphens and am wondering what to do with them. They
do not divide words but are between words. For example:
this bipartition—friend/enemy—prevails over all others
Should I add spaces before or after the punctuation or leave them as is?
Thank you again!
Lorri
