About me
As a former business reporter and technical writer with an MBA, Vera Ovanin has a long history of writing about things that have no immediate impact on her daily life (though writing about software turned her into an early technology adopter).
Vera is an avid lover of marketing communications budgets, arthouse films and home-made pasta sauce. Currently, she bounces between Canada and continental Europe and considers herself slightly geographically unstable. Although she’s writing The Great Big Novel in her free time, her knowledge of sales collateral for tech firms is pretty inexhaustible. I swear. I SWEAR.
Follow her on LinkedIn and Twitter to help her amass millions of followers so that she can retire in a Mediterranean villa draped in cashmere.

I refuse to buy a package of cheddar cheese without a British flag on it.
My dad is an air transport engineer, my grandfather was an airline pilot and I’m scared to fly.
There isn’t a body of water I discriminate against: Whether it’s a mineral spring or a marshy wetland covered in green film – watch me dive right in.
I watch Steven Spielberg’s Jaws once a year, on average.
I always wanted to dye my hair purple.
