[12] Along with several other individuals, including Rachel Pollack, she contributed to the 1972 essay "Don't call me mister, you fucking beast", which has been described as Britain's "first trans manifesto".

[16] She has written reviews and essays for numerous publications, including science fiction and fantasy periodicals such as Vector and Foundation,[16] and The Times Literary Supplement.

Speaking to PinkNews, she said: "When my friend Mike Ford died, suddenly and tragically, I organised a memorial meeting for him and wrote a poem for it completely out of the blue.”[11] In 2012, Kaveney's first two poetry collections were published by A Midsummer Night's Press.

[30] In 2018 Sad Press published Catallus, Kaveney's translation and reimagination of the Latin works of Roman poet Gaius Valerius Catullus.

[31] In the Bryn Mawr Classical Review, Tori Lee argues that Kaveney "upends traditional understanding of what Catullus—in all his aggression, obscenity, and sexuality—represents", and describes the collection as a "light, readable, enormously fun Catullus that will delight classicists and non-classicists alike".
