She has edited a few comics anthologies including the Beyond Anthology and is now working on Elements, a comics anthology by creators of color.

Sfé R. Monster’s passion and interest in the telling of visibly queer and genderqueer stories has manifested in their comics Eth’s Skin, Seven Stories from the Sea, and Kyle & Atticus, as well as in the Beyond Anthology, and the organization of ongoing collaborations that celebrate the diversity of gender expression in projects such as the Orange Octopus Gender Zine. Sfé is a Canadian born and raised, with ties to both the east and west coast of Canada, and a heart that can never be moved too far from the sea.

Sfé identifies as queer and genderqueer, and uses both masculine and neutral pronouns.
