As a creative writer, her works have been published in Australia, Indonesia and the United Kingdom; and she has won several creative writing competitions in Australia. As a composer, she won a national competition for Indonesian composers in 1998 held by the Association for Indonesian Composers (AKI) and the German Embassy. One of her compositions was released in the CD Asia Piano Avantgarde – Indonesia played by pianist Steffen Schleiermacher.

Perhatikan pula kalimat ini: “Nama saya Nayla. Saya perempuan, tapi saya tidak lebih lemah dari laki-laki. Karena, saya tidak mengisap puting payudara ibu. Saya mengisap penis Ayah. Dan saya tidak menyedot air susu Ibu. Saya menyedot mani Ayah.” (cerpen “Menyusu Ayah”, Djenar Maesa Ayu). Itu hanyalah nukilan dari sekian banyak karya Djenar yang berbau-bau seks. Ada persamaan dalam kedua karya tersebut, di akhir cerita tokoh utama sama-sama membunuh laki-lakinya karena telah menyakiti tokoh secara seksual.
