They are close to each other in my acknowledgements, and it looks weird:
"My long-term writers" and a paragraph later "my longtime friend."
I need "long-term." I could maybe use a different word for "longtime," but nothing else (e.g, "good," "dear") is quite right.
I may make a house style decision here and hyphenate "long-time." What do you think, @edibuddies?
