There’s a new Publication in town, and you’re invited to play!
Reading Rhombus
Reading Rhombus is “a journal curating diverse stories from the four corners of Medium.” It is the brainchild of Rasheed Hooda (The Pied Piper) and Holly Jahangiri (The Amusing Muse and technical muscle of the team), and we are dedicated, first and foremost, to promoting writers and publications from the “four corners” of Medium.
