High-Touch Writing & Publishing for
Leaders & Legacy Builders
Writing a book isn’t just about words on a page…
It’s about capturing your brilliance, your essence, your life’s work, and transforming it into tangible impact.
You’re here because cookie-cutter isn’t your style. Your legacy isn’t a DIY project.
Your life wasn’t templated, and your book shouldn’t be either.

If you’re not sure where to start or what to do next, you’re in the right place. Your message just might be buried beneath the pace of your success. Let’s pull it out, refine it, and make it undeniable.

Rania Mankarious
CEO of Crime Stoppers of Houston, Author of The Online World
The Dream She Carried for Years—Now in Print, Protecting Families
When Rania first spoke with Joanna, she wasn’t sure she had what it took to write a book—or whether she had enough to say or the time to say it. She carried a deep desire to publish something meaningful before her father’s passing, but feared self-doubt might get in the way. Through our collaboration, Rania found clarity, courage, and the structure to bring her message to life. Her number one bestselling book, The Online World, educates and empowers readers to navigate the digital landscape and create a safety plan for families, drawing from Rania’s deep expertise in public safety, community advocacy, and cyber awareness. “Writing a book with Joanna was one of the best experiences of my life!”
Bobby Jean Perry
Author of M’Deah and Me: a Tale of Two Black Generations
Breaking a 20-Year Writing Block to Share a Story that Shaped a Nation
For 20 years, Bobby Jean Perry carried the vision for a book that would honor her mother’s legacy and the legacy of Black America. Yet whenever she sat down to write, the words seemed out of reach. When she began working with Joanna, the story was unlocked—and M’Deah and Me: A Tale of Two Black Generations was brought to life. This unforgettable memoir follows a mother and daughter navigating two very different Americas—one rural, one urban—during the height of Jim Crow segregation. From the dirt roads of Alabama to the bustling streets of Minneapolis, it’s a story of resilience, faith, and hope that transcends generations.

Joanna and the team at Silversmith Press worked to hone her story with impact and inspiration. Kristi’s story didn’t begin in a boardroom; it began at sixteen, as a determined young mother and all-American soccer player with grit and vision. In Girl, Get Up, she shares the hard-won lessons that shaped her life, business, and faith journey. “This process gave me more than a book. It gave me clarity, confidence, and a higher sense of purpose.”

From Uncertain to Unstoppable…and Nothing Short of Miraculous
