Which is correct? Make Do vs. Make Due
If you use 
make due rather than make do in your writing, you might be giving yourself away as a reader of Victorian or early 20th century American novels.
Make do means to ���persevere through difficult times,��� as in When dad lost his job, mom said, ���We���ll just have to make due with just my income for a bit.������
Make due is considered a misspelling of make do. A perfect demonstration of how language evolves, make due actually was the preferred spelling until the 1940s. If you want to use this spelling in a letter or diary entry that a character in a historical novel set between 1800-1949, then you���re okay.
In the 21st century, though, make do is the way to go in your writing.
Professional Book Editor: Having your novel, short story or nonfiction manuscript proofread or edited before submitting it can prove invaluable. In an economic climate where you face heavy competition, your writing needs a second eye to give you the edge. I can provide that second eye.
