Adrian loves words, but not just words. She adores language. She also has a knack for spotting errors in text, a habit and hobby she picked up as a preteen that has carried over into her adult career. Speaking of which, throughout her career, Adrian has proofread and edited books, short stories, magazines, brochures, web content, news articles, and materials for multichannel marketing campaigns. Her favorite aspects of her role are being able to genuinely connect with others and help people refine their stories into well-crafted, beautiful works of art.

Sheila Harris is one of those souls who is always content if she has something to read. As an editor and “technically” an award-winning writer for nearly 20 years, Sheila brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the proofreading section of the RTC table. We sat down with Sheila to learn a little more about this lovely, introverted Canadian.

Nathan Lueth has been with RTC since 2010. In addition to illustrating many RTC works, Nathan is also a graphic novelist, caricature artist, martial artist, and fascinating human being. Nathan has a lot of passion projects coming up including the conclusion of his steam-fantasy novel series and the debut of his own graphic novel series.

Andrea Yahr wears many hats. She is a devoted mother and wife, a talented pianist, a business owner, a rockstar accountant, and has also been head of finance at RTC since 2016. To Andrea, every day is an experience. Her life is driven by the need to provide for her family and make sure they have everything they could want or need. That drive is what gets Andrea up and out of bed every morning even though she is a night owl and can often be seen working at three or four a.m. during tax season.

Kelsey Schurer has an unparalleled love for language and literature, which gives her the ability to see the crux of a story by observing the language used and reading between the lines. A natural storyteller, Kelsey is a deeply talented yet humble artist, both with words and visual art. Kelsey’s profound observations lead clients down fruitful paths and awaken a sense of wonder that strengthens each manuscript’s foundation and draws readers into the heart of the story.

Liz Bauman is a master at decoding a plethora of schedules. She does a little bit of everything at RTC including assisting with human resources projects, scheduling client calls and team calls, providing transcription resources, and more. She’s been the keeper of calls for over 10 years and her role continues to expand with RTC.

Andrea Yahr is an accounting icon with a knack for all things administration. The keeper of RTC’s payroll, budgets, book orders, and more, as well as the go-to for human resource needs, Andrea is a highly knowledgeable, skilled, and compassionate member of our team. With a head for numbers and a heart of service, Andrea brings more than 20 years of experience in taxes and accounting to the table.

Little boys do all sorts of crazy things to get attention, but many do not have a picture of their 8-ish years old selves hovering over a typewriter. But RTC’s book editor David Lins does.

James rediscovered writing, a skill he had pursued his entire life, and made it his profession in 2016. This witty and compassionate book editor has an uncanny knack for encouraging authors to get into the deeper parts of their story. An empathic mastermind, James helps clients get into the right frame of mind to explore their own vulnerability.

As a trained graphic designer and self-taught artist, Christy Bui brings words and images to life on the page, on the art installation wall, and on the book cover. Whether it is experimenting with typography or piecing together images to tell a broader story, Christy’s graphic design talent is unmatched.

Clean lines and the curve of the perfectly placed character is part of what makes Sunny’s heart sing when it comes to design. That, coupled with her mad talent for organizing processes here at RTC, make her the powerhouse in our publishing and design departments.

Liz Bauman embodies the spirit of finding magic in the everyday. Through her playfulness, curiosity, and care, Liz delivers joy and brilliance in every piece of her life, from her role as a mother to her work with RTC.

Kelsey Schurer is an artist in every sense of the word. Not only does she create magic with a paintbrush, but she also creates it with words, bringing them to life and helping others do the same.

In 10th grade, James realized the power of words, and he hasn’t looked back. Every job he’s held has included the written word in some way. When he came to RTC, he discovered the true power of using them to connect with our higher purpose.

We all have that one job we want to have when we grow up. We dream about it, work toward it, and hope that we succeed. For RTC artist Nathan Lueth, his dream became a reality! From caricatures to comics, he can do it all!
