His debut novel, Jouer juste, was published in 2003. He followed with Dans la diagonale and Un démocrate, Mick Jagger 1960-1969 in 2005, the latter being a fictionalized portrayal of Mick Jagger's life. In 2006, his third novel, Entre les murs, received the Prix France Culture/Télérama.

Bégaudeau contributes as a film critic for the French edition of Playboy and previously wrote for Cahiers du cinéma. He has regularly contributed to various French magazines, including Inculte, Transfuge, and So Foot.
