It has been a long time since I had a story published, and I can't remember how it is communicated to us when it has been done.

You may also receive messages from the moderator who reviews your submissions.
This. I think an alert goes up now, too. Just trying to remember when my last went up.
On a difficult journey home, Kate finds love and sex in a fellow traveler.
And I first introduced Kate as a university student whose first time kind of sets the stage for her new story.
Once a moderator has reviewed it, you'll get a message either saying that your story has been approved, or a return note explaining the reason(s) and usually some guidance to solve the issue(s).
Then of course it would be visible from your profile.
