Life

Zeman attended high school in Eisenstadt and graduated in 1999, after which she began studying political science, ethnology and journalism. From 2003 she studied history and in 2007 she submitted the diploma thesis " Elisabeth Bergner's Time in Vienna" at the University of Vienna . She worked as an author for Die Presse , the Viennese city newspaper Der Falter , and The Gap .

Barbara Zeman took part in the Wartholz literature competition for the first time in 2010 and received the Wartholz literature prize in 2012 . The jury justified their decision by saying that their poetic prose text “Garden. Views with a woman and a torn man in front of a paradeis tree ”is a convincing“ translation work from the art of painting into the art of language ”. At the end of 2012 she received the third prize in the literary prize of the Graz Academy in the field of novels and was awarded the 2012 literary prize by the Burgenland cultural department for her short story “Portrait of a female dead with a tulle hat and beard” . In 2013, under the direction of Paul Jandl, she took part in a writing workshop in the manor house in Edenkoben .
