JOSIAH KAM
PROSE EXECUTIVE EDITOR
Josiah Kam is from New Jersey and writes creative fiction. He focuses mostly on family-based fiction because there’s plenty of drama going on in his own. When he’s not drafting up blog posts for the Cereal Box he’s practicing cello, reading Peanuts comics, and twirling pens/nerf guns. He also has this weird obsession with house cleaning.

ROBERT GAO
POETRY EDITOR-IN-CHIEF + OUTREACH
Robert, soon to be known by his debut rapper name Young Rob, is someone you'd refer to as a jack-of-all-trades, master of none. He is a writer, swimmer, mathlete, pianist, tennis player, tourist, and now avid reader from Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, and is willing to try anything else for the right amount of money. He is a 2023 YoungArts Finalist in Poetry and a Scholastic Art and Writing Awards Gold Medalist in Poetry. Right now, he's embarking on a journey of reading as much Asian-authored literature as humanly possible. Maybe he'll finish a poem in the next six months.
