He pioneered the development of the short story as a lyrical prose-poetic form. For Arcellana, the pride of fiction is "that it is able to render truth, that is able to present reality". He has kept alive the experimental tradition in fiction, and has been most daring in exploring new literary forms to express the sensibility of the Filipino people. A brilliant craftsman, his works are now an indispensable part of a tertiary-level-syllabi all over the country.

Arcellana's published books include:
  • ''Selected Stories'' (1962)

  • ''Poetry and Politics: The State of Original Writing in English in the Philippines Today'' (1977)

  • ''The Francisco Arcellana Sampler'' (1990).
