Olive Bernhart (she/they), also known as Olive Pile, is a transfeminine, queer, disabled, and autistic writer, poet, musician, and artist, and a two-time college dropout. She can’t think of anything else to add here, but wants to say "you haven't seen the last of me" somewhere in this bio, because it was here before. So there it is. She is currently working on her debut poetry collection, as well as her debut short story collection. See you soon!
