The Hungarian historian of literature, Endre Bakó summarized the characteristics of Tóthárpád's writing with two words: ”Care and modernity”.[2] Ferenc Tóthárpád publishes poetry on a regular basis since the mid-1980s. He prefers classical forms. He puts great emphasis on making available contemporary literature to the Hungarian diaspora. Thus, pieces of his poetry and fiction have been featured in Óperencia Magazin (United States, Colorado), in Amerikai Magyar Napló, Panoráma'’ (New Zealand), Kispajtás, Fürkész and Cinkenapsi (Transylvania), in Jó Pajtás and Mézeskalács'’ (Serbia), and in various reviews published in Hungary (Tappancs, Nők Lapja, Breki Magazin, Mini Manó, Rejtvényiskola.[3] A selection of his poetry written for adults has been featured in Duna-part, Hitel and Partium.

In 2003, he became a contributor and later on a contributing editor of Kőszeg és vidéke. Then he was the founding editor-in-chief of Kőszegi Hírmondó until it ceased publication, becoming the responsible editor of Kőszeg és Vidéke, a position held for 7 years, after which he continued to be a contributor of the monthly review.
