About RVbookcoaching
RVbookcoaching was established in 2018 when two former bookshop employees exchanged manuscripts. We noticed that while many are passionate about books and writing, too often, their stories remain unfinished and tucked away in a drawer. Our goal is to change that.
For the first two years, we focused on offering writing courses, but the global pandemic forced us to pause those activities. Instead of sitting idly by, we worked with test clients to develop our developmental editing and coaching services, which we now proudly offer. We also hope to bring our training courses back soon!
Our goal is to offer support to every writer, which is why we offer services at different price points. The clients of RVbookcoaching include writers from Estonia, the USA and Middle East.
Our vision
The vision of RVbookcoaching is to be a reliable partner for writers, supporting them in creating high-quality manuscripts through personalised editing and consultation.
Our mission
The mission of RVbookcoaching is to offer personalised support and guidance to writers, empowering them to achieve their writing goals and unlock their full creative potential.
About the name
Rvbookcoaching operates under the legal name Raamatuvabrik OÜ.
The RV in our name stands for the Estonian word “Raamatuvabrik,” which means ‘book factory.’ The name reflects our goal of helping writers turn their ideas into well-crafted books, just like a factory creates high-quality products.
