Editors can help you with such words that are spelled similarly. I’m Timothy, a fiction editor. The rest of my 2024 is booked, but I’d love to start chatting about working together in 2025. I provide a free sample edit to anyone interested in hiring me. Feel free to reach out to me if you’d like to chat.
