Milan Mirić (writer)

Milan Mirić (14 November 1931) is Croatian writer.

He attended primary school in Varaždin and Kraljevo, and a gymnasium in Kraljevo and Karlovac. At the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb he received a degree in 1956.

His earliest novelist attempts were in 1953 in Omladinski borac. Later, he published in periodicals such as Zadarska revija, Prisutnost, Književnik and Naše teme. He is one of the founders and editors of Razlog, a periodical published by Student Center in the period 1961-1968, along with a book series in which more than hundred works of domestic and foreign poets, novelists, critics, sociologists and philosophers were published. Works published in the series Razlog have made a lasting impression in the 1960s and 1970s Croatian literary life.

He worked as a professional "youth manager" (1957-1962), as a director of the cultural department of Student Center until 1974, as an editor-in-chief of the university imprint Liber until 1984, and finally as the editor-in-chief of the publishing house Naprijed until 1999, when he retired.
