He also writes essays and reviews for a range of magazines including The London Magazine, Stand, PN Review, Poetry London and Temenos Academy Review. As a director of the Temenos Academy from 2000 to 2003, Lindop held the post of editor at Temenos Academy Review. He is also a fellow of the Wordsworth Trust.^[8]^[9]

He and his wife, Amanda Therese Marian (née Cox), live at Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester. They have a son and two daughters.^[10]

When Carcanet Press began publishing pamphlets Lindop's Against the Sea was among the earliest ones published.^[11]

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.^[12]

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.

In 2008, André Deutsch published Travels on the Dance Floor ({{ISBN|0233002367}}) (third edition 2010), Lindop's account of his 6-week journey to Cuba, Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and Miami in search of the roots of salsa dancing.
