Magrs is the author of numerous fiction and non-fiction works. His first published writing was the short story "Patient Iris", published 1995 in New Writing Four (edited by A. S. Byatt and Alan Hollinghurst). This was soon followed by his debut novel, Marked for Life, the same year. Magrs' first three novels, Marked for Life, Does It Show? (1997) and Could It Be Magic? (1998), share characters, a magical realist tone and a setting: the fictional Phoenix Court council estate in Newton Aycliffe.{{cite web |url=http://www.librarything.com/nseries/41678/Phoenix-Court |title=Phoenix Court |publisher=LibraryThing |access-date=24 June 2010}}{{cite news |title=Book review: Could it be magic? by Paul Magrs |first=Michael |last=Arditti |newspaper=The Independent |date=13 January 1998 |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/book-review-could-it-be-magic-by-paul-magrs-chatto--windus-pounds-999-1138355.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220525/https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/book-review-could-it-be-magic-by-paul-magrs-chatto--windus-pounds-999-1138355.html |archive-date=25 May 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |access-date=25 June 2010 }}{{cite news |title=Strange boy, singular writer |first=Nick |last=Morrison |newspaper=The Northern Echo |date=3 July 2002 |url=http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/archive/2002/07/03/The+North+East+Archive/7068445.Strange_boy__singular_writer/ |access-date=25 July 2010 }}

Magrs' first children's book, Strange Boy (2002), prompted controversy due to homosexual content involving its 10-year-old protagonist and a 14-year-old neighbour.{{cite news |title=Fury as schools to stock child gay sex book |first=Kizzy |last=Taylor |newspaper=Scotland on Sunday |date=23 June 2002 |url=http://scotlandonsunday.scotsman.com/scotland/Fury-as-schools-to-stock.2337587.jp |access-date=25 June 2010 |archive-date=8 June 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110608205159/http://scotlandonsunday.scotsman.com/scotland/Fury-as-schools-to-stock.2337587.jp |url-status=dead }}{{cite news |title=Row over book on 10-year-old gay boy for school libraries |first=Lorna |last=Martin |newspaper=The Herald |date=24 June 2002 |url=https://secure.pqarchiver.com/smgpubs/access/128127991.html?FMT=FT&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Jun+24%2C+2002&author=Lorna+Martin&pub=The+Herald&desc=Row+over+book+on+10-year-old+gay+boy+for+school+libraries |archive-url=https://archive.today/20121217164900/https://secure.pqarchiver.com/smgpubs/access/128127991.html?FMT=FT&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Jun+24,+2002&author=Lorna+Martin&pub=The+Herald&desc=Row+over+book+on+10-year-old+gay+boy+for+school+libraries |url-status=dead |archive-date=17 December 2012 |page=6 |format=fee required |access-date=25 June 2010 }} Representatives of the NASUWT teachers' union and the conservative Christian Institute argued that the book should not be stocked in school libraries, and some newspapers suggested that doing so in England would be illegal due to the Section 28 ban on "promoting homosexuality" in schools.{{cite news |title=Gay boy sex book is set for schools; No Midlands ban on explicit novel |first=Caroline |last=Wheeler |newspaper=Sunday Mercury |date=30 June 2002 |url=https://www.questia.com/read/1G1-88092474 |access-date=25 June 2010 |format=fee required}}{{cite news |title=Libraries: The War on Terror's New Front? |first=Steven M. |last=Cohen |publisher=Fox News |date=25 June 2002 |url=https://www.foxnews.com/story/libraries-the-war-on-terrors-new-front |access-date=25 June 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121025082944/http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,56210,00.html |archive-date=25 October 2012 |url-status=live }}{{cite news |title=Sexually explicit book to be stocked in Scottish schools |newspaper=M2 Best Books |date=3 July 2010 |url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-88243907.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121104073011/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-88243907.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=4 November 2012 |access-date=25 June 2010 }} However, the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals supported libraries' purchase of Strange Boy, as did representatives of Stonewall and other gay rights organizations.

Magrs has written several novels, short stories and audio dramas relating to Doctor Who, many of which also feature his character Iris Wildthyme.{{cite web |url=http://www.paulmagrs.com/who.php |title=Doctor Who |last=Magrs |first=Paul |work=paulmagrs.com |access-date=24 June 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100413034624/http://www.paulmagrs.com/who.php |archive-date=13 April 2010 }}{{cite web |url=http://www.paulmagrs.com/iris.php |title=Iris Wildthyme |last=Magrs |first=Paul |work=paulmagrs.com |access-date=24 June 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100113200730/http://www.paulmagrs.com/iris.php |archive-date=13 January 2010 }}

Iris was initially portrayed as an eccentric and unreliable Time Lady, whose TARDIS takes the form of a London AEC Routemaster double-decker bus (the route 22 to Putney Common), though in a series of short story collections and novels not written for the BBC, the character has been repurposed to remove any copyrighted aspects. Iris Wildthyme was originally created for Magrs' unpublished first novel, which was named after her; another version of Iris also appears in Marked for Life.{{cite web |url=http://www.iriswildthyme.thiswaydown.org/who.html |title=Iris in the Whoniverse |last=Douglas |first=Stuart |year=2007 |work=The Iris Wildthyme Pages |access-date=24 June 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110518220510/http://www.iriswildthyme.thiswaydown.org/who.html |archive-date=18 May 2011 |url-status=dead }} The character features in all of Magrs' three contributions to BBC Books' Eighth Doctor Adventures, in several Big Finish Productions audio dramas by Magrs and other writers, in a novel series from Snowbooks{{cite web |title=About Enter Wildthyme |url=http://www.snowbooks.com/store/products/2014-04-07%2013:18:41%20+0000-EnterWildthyme |publisher=snowbooks |access-date=16 July 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140724135419/http://www.snowbooks.com/store/products/2014-04-07%2013%3A18%3A41%20+0000-EnterWildthyme |archive-date=24 July 2014 }} and in short story and novella collections published by Big Finish and Obverse Books.

Magrs has also written licensed Doctor Who fiction without Wildthyme, including the 2007 novel, Sick Building, (which made the shortlist for the Doncaster Book Award),{{cite web |url=http://www.doncasterbookaward.net/showreview.php?i=111 |title=Sick Building |work=Doncaster Book Award |access-date=24 June 2010}} a variety of audio plays for Big Finish and the BBC audio series, Hornets' Nest, which marked the first time Tom Baker had returned to play the Doctor in a full-length drama since he left the role in 1981.{{cite press release |title=Tom Baker returns as the Fourth Doctor in new audio dramas! |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/bbcworldwide/worldwidestories/pressreleases/2009/07_july/hornets_nest.shtml |publisher=BBC Worldwide |date=29 July 2009 |access-date=24 June 2010}} After the success of Hornets' Nest, Magrs wrote two sequel series Demon Quest (2010) and Serpent Crest (2011).

The fourth book, Hell's Belles, features characters from Magrs' early Phoenix Court books, while the fifth features characters from Magrs' Doctor Who audio, The Boy That Time Forgot. A short story collection, A Treasury of Brenda and Effie (Obverse Books) and a seventh novel, Fellowship of Ink (snowbooks) were both released in 2017.
