Hi Deborah, if you're looking to submit to our author newsletter, here is the home page for that: https://www.thefussylibrarian.com/advertising If you're asking about having the story appear at Literary Hub, that's an outside website and we're unaffiliated with it, so you will want to contact them directly. Their website URL is lithub.com . Best of luck!
Please send information on how to submit a short story for children. Thank you
