Marija Jovčevska started writing at a very young age, and as a child, she participated in numerous literary readings organized by primary and secondary schools, as well as in literary festivals throughout the country. She writes poetry and short stories that reflect her personal delicacy.

She has participated in several competitions and won numerous awards. Some of the more important are:
- Second prize in the competition for literature “11. October ”(national award) in 2014 and 3rd place in the same competition in 2012.
- First prize in the competition for literature on air pollution in 2014.

"Kronike puščavskega semena" ("Chronicles of Desert Seed") is her first book. She compares poetry and short stories published in April 2015. Jovčevska focuses on irony, society, humor, and satire. At the age of twenty, she is one of the most promising and ambitious writers in Macedonia. Her residency in Slovenia lasted two months, from the beginning of August to the end of September.
