She is an author of short stories, theatrical texts, and novels. In 2005 she wrote the poem "Portella della Ginestra: Indice dei nomi proibiti," in which she recalled the Portella della Ginestra massacre on May 1, 1947. The subtitle "Index of Prohibited Names" evokes the historical Index of Prohibited Books and refers to the instigators of the crime, still officially unknown.

In 2012 her book Niente ci fu ('There was nothing') was published, dedicated to the life of rape survivor Franca Viola, who rebelled against forced marriage in Sicily. Franca Viola, interviewed by Concita De Gregorio, told her truth about this sequence of events in her life.

Monroy's novel Oltre il vasto oceano: memoria parziale di bambina (Beyond the vast ocean: A girl's partial memory) was nominated for the Strega Prize in 2014, and it won the 2014 Kaos Prize. The next year, 2015, Monroy published her novel Dido: operetta pop, a modern Dido's journey "halfway between the epic and the comic, legend and reality, the mythic and the contemporary."

Beatrice Monroy works in cooperation with Rai 3 Radio, directs an editorial series titled Passaggi di donne ('Passages of women'), and has conducted writing workshops for women who were victims of violence. She teaches dramaturgy at the School of Arts and Theatrical Performance Trades at the Biondo Theater Company of Palermo directed by Emma Dante.
