The early pieces of poetry by Erdoğan appeared in Aylık Dergi, published in Ankara, from 1982. Subsequently he published poems and, more recently, short stories, in many literary outlets such as İkindi Yazıları, Albatros, Mavera, Kayıtlar, Hece, Dergah, Edebiyat Ortamı, and Külliye.

Sis (2005) and Şeb-i Yelda (2016) are selections of his poems, and Sekerat (2019) brings together innovative narratives that effectively negotiate the terrain between poetry and short story.
