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.

​

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.

Layout :: Formatting your material to be read as an eBook or 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. It's actually a double single pass, as both print and eBook are editing separately at the same time. *Assumes you have taken care of basic proofreading ahead of time and are ready for detailed and focused edits.

​

Because eBooks have unlimited options for pages and font sizes, page pricing for eBook formatting is based off of the number of pages in the final Microsoft Word document.
