About Joanna
Joanna K. Hunt is a New York Times bestselling ghostwriter, celebrity book strategist, and the founder and CEO of Silversmith Press—a boutique publishing house serving high-profile authors, entrepreneurs, thought leaders, and those with a passion to share a message. Backed by a team with Big Five publishing experience, Silversmith Press delivers the caliber and expertise of a major publishing house, combined with a collaborative approach guided by values of integrity, faith, family, and freedom.
   With two decades of experience in publishing, media, and brand development, Joanna has quietly worked behind the scenes with some of the world’s most recognized names: A-list actors, global influencers, billionaires, bestselling authors, and high-profile entrepreneurs — helping them refine their voice and scale their message to millions.
   In addition to leading Silversmith Press, Joanna spent six years as a SiriusXM radio co-host on the network’s top inspirational channel. Her strategic work has landed projects on all major rankings lists: New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, LA Times, as well as at the top of Amazon's charts. Her projects have also been featured on the Today Show, Good Morning America, Fox, InStyle, and more.
   Through her proven Publish & GO! System, Joanna guides entrepreneurs and executives at every stage of the writing, publishing, and marketing process, helping them extract their expertise, shape their message, and bring a commercially viable book to market.
   Joanna has published prominent C-level professionals, including the founder of the top boutique investment firm on Wall Street, and one of Forbes' "Top CTOs to Watch." And while she has worked with the author who secured the #1 book deal in the world at the time of acquisition, she finds just as much joy in helping people from all walks of life—from retirees to triplet moms.
   At the core of her work is a deep commitment to helping people uncover the message they were meant to share and equipping them to communicate it with clarity, authenticity, and impact. For some, it’s a message they’ve carried for years—even decades. That’s why clients often express that working with Joanna is not only professionally defining, but personally life-changing. Because writing a book isn’t just about expressing content—it’s about translating something intangible that transforms the soul of the reader. That’s what influence is all about.
