Definitions
Because you'll find contrasting ideas of editing terms online, here is how we define and use them at NCM so you know exactly what you're getting. This goes both for fiction and non-fiction/leadership titles.
Proofreading | Simple proofing of your work for general, easy-to-find errors (due to its simple nature, proofreading is not a part of "The Whole Deal")*
Copy Edits | Detailed grammatical, spelling, and consistency-of-structure editing
Line Edits | Making your sentences clear, free of redundancies, and able to flow nicely in a way that agrees with your style
Content Edits | A deep study of your work that uncovers any inconsistencies in facts, details, story, characters, etc. After all, nobody wants their character's sidekick to have silver eyes in chapter one and amber eyes in chapter fourteen...unless, of course, they do.
Layout | Formatting your material to be read as a traditional printed book
The Whole Deal | Just a warning. It's impossible to discover every error in the single pass, but errors will be greatly reduced. *Assumes you have taken care of basic proofreading ahead of time and are ready for detailed and focused edits.
