While 2SLGBTQIA+-based horror creators are receiving more acknowledgment now than ever, there is still a lot of stigma and discrimination attached to them and their works. It is because of this that he developed the independent publishing house Pride with a Bite. They currently serve as Editor-in-Chief. With the emergence of Pride with a Bite, Sage hopes to highlight new and established 2SLGBTQIA+ horror authors and artists from all backgrounds, while providing the community with new publishing and marketing opportunities.
