Bereznay has worked as a freelance historical map editor, and as a cartographer for many British, American and other publishers.

Bereznay has written extensively about issues of political geography. Mostly in Hungarian (**LINKS**), in English in The Times . Since 2008, he has been a regular contributor to Magyar Nemzet, a Hungarian national daily newspaper, with over 40 articles, both maps and accompanying text.

In 2011, the first work entirely by Bereznay (text and maps), Erdély Történetének Atlasza (Historical Atlas of Transylvania), was published. In 2012, this atlas received a special award from the President of Hungary. Bereznay undertook a lecture tour in Transylvania to discuss this work, and and also presented it in Norway.

Earlier, Bereznay was invited to present a paper at an international conference on the Historical Cartography of Transylvania at the University of Cluj, but his submission was subsequently banned.
