Zorana S. Jean Manić (official name Zorana Manić, b. Belgrade, 1991) is a multidimensional artist, author, embodiment guide, and soul weaver devoted to storytelling as a form of healing, remembering, and awakening. She graduated from the Faculty of Philology at the University of Belgrade, majoring in Serbian literature and language with comparative literature, and later completed her MBA studies in Seoul, where she worked as an assistant professor at Dongguk University for both BA and MBA programs.

Belgrade, 1991) is a multidimensional artist, author, embodiment guide, and soul weaver devoted to storytelling as a form of healing, remembering, and awakening. She graduated from the Faculty of Philology at the University of Belgrade, majoring in Serbian literature and language with comparative literature, and later completed her MBA studies in Seoul, where she worked as an assistant professor at Dongguk University for both BA and MBA programs.

Her journey into the world of stories began in early childhood. At age six, she was already immersed in books, nature, science, music, and theatre. With her cousins, she would create elaborate plays—inventing stories, designing costumes and scenography, directing and acting in performances for the whole family—unknowingly laying the foundation for a life shaped by creative expression.

Throughout her university years, Zorana actively participated in cultural, artistic, and humanitarian initiatives. She founded and led the Section for Performing Arts at the Faculty of Philology, overseeing and supporting nearly 7,000 artists and sixty employed students. She also served as a member of the Student Parliament and president of the Commission for International Cooperation, contributing to literary events, performances, conferences, and summer schools across the Balkans and Central Europe.

Her literary career began early, with her first published story—The House on the Hill, written at eighteen—winning first prize in Laguna’s national competition. Since then, her short stories and poetry have been recognized in numerous national and international literary contests, appearing in various anthologies and magazines including Književne vertikale, Vesna, Lisa, and Zbornik ljubavne poezije.

The Game of Infinite Curvature, her debut novel—though envisioned as the third book in a six-part saga—was the one that chose to be written first. The book merges physics, dreams, memory, and metaphysical truths, pioneering a new genre that bridges science and mysticism through deeply personal, emotionally evocative narrative. Literary professors and readers have called it one of the most soul-stirring books they’ve encountered, suggesting that Zorana is not merely creating a new genre, but weaving portals and conjuring a movement of remembrance. For many, The Game of Infinite Curvature transcends the boundaries of fiction—it becomes a call to those ready to awaken, remember, and walk through the veils of story into a new kind of being.

She speaks English, French, Korean, Russian, and Spanish, and is currently learning German with aspirations to learn Arabic.

Now based in Geneva, she is devoted to her soul-rooted shamanic practice, which weaves storytelling, ancestral wisdom, sound, dreamwork, and energy ceremonies into offerings for others. She is currently developing her multidimensional brand and preparing to open a retreat sanctuary in nature—a place where art and spirit, memory and imagination, ritual and creation will meet again, through her and through the stories that still want to be born. ...more
