Between 2018 and 2020, he published books on Cuba, Rojava, Marinaleda, [7] as well as a book of investigations about societal issues.

In 2023, William Buzy co-authored a book detailing the history of the Stade des Costières, the iconic stadium of Nîmes Olympique, with local journalist Romain Collet-Gaudin. [13] This publication coincided with the club's move to a new stadium and the looming threat of the Costières' demolition. [14] The book compiles the testimonies of 200 key figures, including former players, club officials, referees, local representatives and journalists, documenting the significance of the stadium in local football history. [15] [16]

His third novel, The righteous, is released in 2023. [17] [18] In 2024, William Buzy published an English-language poetry collection.
