As a consequence, Antoni had to earn early his living by writing; as such, the first texts he penned were articles about the Podkarpacie region to be edited by Lwów newspapers.

In 1891, he moved to Lwów and started working in the editorial office of the Przegląd Lwowski, a biweekly scientific, literary and political journal.

There, he took over the department of culture and national affairs while working at the same time as a correspondent for other papers: During this period, he wrote his first book, Nieśmiertelni.

In 1903, he relocated to Kraków, where after several stints, he took the position of chief editor of the local print of Warsaw biweekly Świat, just founded in 1906 by Stefan Krzywoszewski (1866-1950).

In 1909, Chołoniewski visited for the first time Gdańsk: he was sent by the editors of Świat in order to survey the situation of Poles in these regions, so as to confirm the Germanization policy imposed by the authorities.

His ideas exposed him to harassment from the side of the Senate of the Free City of Danzig, which was administrating independently the area since 1920.

[4] In his last year, Antoni edited a bimonthly Biblioteka Pomorska, dealing with art, science, literature and popular culture in Polish Pomerania.
