While Makin's publications are few, two poems written to the Hastings are preserved in the Hastings Collection at the Henry E. Huntington Library.
An Essay begins with a series of letters in which Makin establishes her audience with her original appeal to "all Ingenious and Virtuous Ladies, more especially to her Highness the Lady Mary, eldest Daughter to his Royal Highness the Duke of York" (Makin 1673).
