Ava Guihama Olson is a writer and scholar from Los Angeles, currently based in Northern California. They graduated with honors from UC Berkeley’s American Studies program, where their academic work concerned itself with sex, historiography, and the image of the Asian American woman in American culture. Beyond academia, their writing explores suburbia, environment, the boundary between the erotic and the horrifying, and all things hereditary. Ava is an alum of the Tin House Summer Workshop, and their work has been published in Wilde Magazine, Vision and Voice, The Secret History of America, and, in a past life, on Archive of Our Own.
