About

Veronika Dapunt is a British-Austrian author. Her debut novel, Death and Other Occupational Hazards, was a runner-up for the 2023 Comedy Women in Print Prize. The book was first published by Transworld, a division of Penguin Random House, in April 2025.

Veronika has always had a love of the darkly comic and the absurd, quite possibly the reason why her first career was in law. In the past she worked for the European Union and a luxury goods business, where she was involved in international fashion shows, the Academy Awards and the James Bond franchise. Veronika holds a degree from the University of Oxford and currently lives in London with an opinionated mini-Schnauzer called Cosette.
