Besides screenplays Kaplinskaya wrote theatrical plays, novels and short stories, and her articles were published in literary journals including the independent literary and political magazine "Friendship of Nations".

Elena Kaplinskaya's native city, Moskow, and the city played a central part in her stories. In her novel "A Moscow Story" the image of the city and its habitants are presented as the symbol of goodness and justice. The novel was born out of the complex changes in the social life in Moscow in the 1970s and early 1980s and became the subject of heated social and literary discussions. The novel was translated into French in 1984 and was published in Paris by Messidor Publishing.
