About
Hey, we’re Anthony & Lauren LeDonne. We’re married, good at stuff, funny, easy to work with, and modest.
We’ve never gotten around to doing an official “joint headshot” photoshoot, because … it seems creepy and extra.
But here’s a recent-ish at the Ryder Cup in 2025, so you know we’re real people, and also, huge golf nerds.
The People
The Company
Last Word started in 2012 as a side hustle based on a simple observation when Lauren signed her first book deal: most author websites were terrible. And most design studios had no idea what authors needed from a website.
We did, so we started building them on the side upon request, until soon word-of-mouth had our client list was into the double digits and included New York Times bestselling authors.
More than a decade later, we still love building author websites, though now our clients also include creators, comedy schools, businesses, restaurants, even an astrology website!
Our creative cred
Lauren is a New York Times bestselling author who’s written 40+ books and sold millions of copies worldwide. She’s been interviewed by the Wall Street Journal, Inside Edition, and fancy stuff like that.
Anthony is a comedian, actor, and author. Stuff he gets stopped on the street for (really): Epicurious cooking videos (pink shirt guy!), Hardees/Carl’s Jr Commercials, and his favorite brag: a random video he did about Notion for comedians, because who doesn’t delight in a fellow organizational nerd?!
Our business cred
Lauren used to manage T-Moibile’s website homepage.
Anthony worked for Accenture for years. These are big deals. Take our word for it, our at least tell our parents it’s true.
so, basically…
Whether you’re the sweatpants/journal/meditation type, or the heels/suits/spreadsheet type, we understand you. We are you.
Oh, and just one more no-big-deal thing…
we co-wrote a book
If nothing else, respect that we wrote a book/screenplay together and didn’t get divorced.
Emergency Contact, received a starred review from Publishers Weekly, and is also a screenplay being shopped by Important People, or so our agent tells us.
