He started his literary career in 2006, with a collection of poems – Delirium Tremens (STEF Publishing House, Iaşi). His poems, aphorisms, short stories, and critical essays have appeared in various magazines, newspapers, and anthologies in Romania and diaspora. He is one of the twenty authors who were published in Antologia aforismului românesc contemporan/An Anthology of Contemporary Romanian Aphorisms (Genesi Publishing House, Turin, 2013)[5], and one of the twenty-seven authors who were published in Antologia aforismului românesc contemporan/An Anthology of Contemporary Romanian Aphorisms (Digital Unicorn Publishing House, Constanţa, 2016)[6]. Following the 2012 Naji Naaman International Contest, he was awarded the Creativity Prize for aphorisms from his collection Dicţionarul suferinţei/A Dictionary of Suffering (Fides Publishing House, Iaşi, 2008), translated into French by Professor Constantin Frosin, PhD [7].

He has won several poetry and short story contests. Some of his work has been translated into five languages: English, French, Spanish, Italian, and Arabic. He was nicknamed "The poet who was born on Google" after the title of his book M-am născut pe Google/I Was Born on Google (STEF Publishing House, Iaşi, 2007) [9]. In 2012, the English version of his science fiction novel Uezen was published by Wildside Press (US) "uezen"-de-ionut-caragea-a-aparut-in-america/[10][11].
