A native of the village Proložac near Imotski, Tomić graduated with a joint honours degree in philosophy and sociology from the University of Zadar.[1] He began to write as a reporter for the local daily newspaper Slobodna Dalmacija, showing in his articles great literary talent that would manifest itself in his 2000 debut novel Što je muškarac bez brkova.[1]

Ante Tomić now writes for the newspaper Jutarnji list[1] and in 2004 he travelled across the US to provide his newspaper's coverage of the presidential campaign by talking to the American electorate on the street. As of 2009, he has his own column Vlaška posla in Slobodna Dalmacija.

In 2017, Ante Tomić has signed the Declaration on the Common Language of the Croats, Serbs, Bosniaks and Montenegrins.[2]
