Miodrag Kojadinović is a polyglot and writes in English, Serbian, Dutch, and French and speaks two dozen other European and Asian languages.
He is best at short forms, focusing on short stories about localities, e.g. Macau, in a collection by global lusophone and China-based authors (published in three identical books in Chinese, Portuguese, and English) where he won the 1st prize in English, the Savamala old district of Belgrade (in Serbian), Shanghai (in English), or Pamplona (in Serbian), travelogues on Venice, Manila, Malacca, Vietnam, etc., and especially poetry (including short forms such as haiku, e.g. in Chiaroscuro for Ars Poetica). His collection of eight tales about China, Under Thunderous Skies, has Nanning, Shanghai, Macau, Hong Kong and Guangzhou as locations of the events. He has also published erotica, including Lambda Literary Award winning Érotiques Suprèmes—and academic writing.
His work has appeared in the US,[6][7] Serbia (in Serbian[8] and Hungarian[9][10]), Canada, Russia,[11][12] the Netherlands (in Dutch,[13] West Frisian,[14] and English), Slovenia, Spain,[15] India, Mainland China,[16] Hong Kong, Macau,[17] France,[18] Israel,[19] Montenegro,[20] Scotland, England,[21] Austria,[22] Germany, Australia, and Croatia.[23]
He has also edited the first GLBT studies reader in Serbian (Čitanka istopolnih studija, 2001), the first major work on queer and gender non-standard issues in Belgrade (next collection of papers with the same topic was published only in 2009, referencing Čitanka).[24]
He was a guest on annual academic research fellowships in Oslo in 2002[25] and Utrecht/Amsterdam 1996/1997, on writing events and residences in Zurich for the Eurogames in 2000 (one of only three foreign artists invited, the others not writers), Macau Rota das letras literary festival in 2012,[26][27] the two Balkan ones in Split in 2010[28] and Sofia 2017[29] both facilitated by the Traduki organisation for German-South East European literary cooperation, аnd in 2023 in Nanjing, a UNESCO City of Literature.[30][31]
