Finished my first book (short stories) — what next?

I just finished working on my very first book — a collection of short stories. I did everything myself: the writing, editing, proofreading, and even the design. I’m honestly really happy with how it turned out, and a few people I’ve shared it with have given me encouraging feedback, which makes me want to take the next step.

The problem: I have no idea what that next step should be. The stories are in English, but I live in a country where English isn’t the first language, so my local audience is limited.

Ideally, I’d love to:

• Submit some of the stories to websites or magazines that publish short fiction
• Find ways to reach a wider audience (even a small one would mean a lot)

I’d really appreciate any pointers, advice, or resources. And if anyone here would be interested in reading them, I’d be more than happy to share! :)
