Ira Sukrungruang, pictured in the middle, is the co-editor of the fat books What Are You Looking At? The First Fat Fiction Anthology and Scoot Over, Skinny: The Fat Nonfiction Anthology. His favorite candy is anything that has sour-sucking power and unhinges his jaw because of extreme gumminess.

Katherine Riegel, left, got her MFA from an institution in the Midwest, has published poems and essays in some cool places edited by awesome people, and believes that heaven is made of chocolate. 

K.C. Wolfe, right, is the skinniest fat man in these United States of America. He appreciates the unlikely excellence of the cuisine in Columbus, OH, where he's studying in the MFA program at The Ohio State University. His favorite Graeter's ice cream flavor is double chocolate chocolate chip.

Nick Mazzeo (not pictured) dons the hippest afro you'll see on a white boy. He'll rip up the joint with his spoken word lyrics, and can comfortably finish off a bowl of ice cream in milliseconds.

Candice Granata (not pictured) drinks only bottled water and steals her neighbor's internet connection so she can watch science documentaries and old episodes of Frasier.

Mark Mazzoli (not pictured) has a fondness for exploring abandoned houses in upstate NY. He is an avid walker, and on his walks he is contemplating the state of contemporary literature and peace on this planet.
