When Carcanet Press began publishing pamphlets Lindop's Against the Sea was among the earliest ones published.

His first full-length collection of poems, Fools' Paradise, was published in 1977. Five other collections have been published since: Tourists (1987), A Prismatic Toy (1991), Selected Poems (2000). Lindop's most recent collection Playing With Fire, was published by Carcanet Press in 2006.

Lindop wrote a biography of Thomas De Quincey which was published in 1981 as The Opium-Eater: a Life of Thomas De Quincey. He also edited De Quincey's Confessions of an English Opium-Eater and Other Writings for the Oxford World's Classics series in 1985, and was General Editor of The Works of Thomas De Quincey, a 21-volume complete edition of his writings, produced by a team of eleven editors and published in 2000–03.

Sigma Press published Lindop's A Literary Guide to the Lake District in 1993 (second edition, 2005). The guide to the area's literary connections won the Lakeland Book of the Year award in 1994.
