Americans are at the top because they cannot afford to buy.

I've written a novella, gone through and edited it for mistakes and revised certain parts that were weaker. Everyone I've showed it to said it is good, so what should my next steps be for publishing it?

Would it be realist for someone with almost no official formation in mathematics but rather formed in philosophy to contributed to abstract mathematics or the philosophy of mathematics? It seems to me like philosophy and mathematics are closely related. Also, nice (text) books about maths, I'm trying to learn them.

1. A Russian priest goes to Alaska during the colonization of it by the Russian empire. He and the men he goes with encounter a tribe of Indians utilizing evil, otherworldly powers. He and all of the colonists are wiped out, but the priest keeps a journal of what happened. Next spring, a larger expedition wipes out the tribe and finds the remains of the settler camp. The leader of the expedition finds the journal and sends it back to the priest’s bishop in Russia. (story is written as journal entries by the priest, save for a brief intro by the officer who found what was left of the original expedition).
2. In a monastery, the Abbot who is secretly deep into esotericism and the occult comes across a lost grimoire written by a medieval alchemist. In the grimoire he learns of a powerful entity that he begins to worship, and slowly converts the brothers at the monastery to worship as well. Eventually he learns of a way to summon the entity into this world through a corrupted form of eucharist but is stopped by a single monk or someone else, idk.
3. A happily married but mentally ill man’s wife dies, and he goes crazy. After some shenanigans, he stalks and kidnaps a woman that looks somewhat similar to his wife and cuts her hair like his dead wife, makes her dress in the wife’s clothes, etc., and do things around the house that she would have done. Eventually he comes to terms with the fact that she isn’t his wife and that his wife is dead. He blames her for making him do this and then kills her and himself.
4. A professional boxer is a repressed, self-hating homosexual. One day he’s doing a photoshoot for a sports drink ad, but the photographer he normally works with couldn’t make it so there is a different photographer, a very attractive and obviously gay guy. The boxer at first doesn’t want to do the shoot, but eventually sucks it up and gets it over with. After the shoot, the two men wind up talking a bit, and the boxer secretly decides he kinda likes the photographer. When the ad is made, it comes out very well and the boxer tells his manager that he’d like to do more work with the photographer. As the two work together more, they hit it off for real and live happily ever after the end.
5. A Roman soldier is captured alive and taken as a slave when his unit is defeated in a minor border skirmish with a tribe of Gauls. Initially he obviously hates his captors and tries to escape, but instead of killing him for his insolence, the nobleman that owns him takes a liking to him for his boldness and starts to treat him with more respect. Over the next few years, he grows more accustomed to his new life. The nobleman catches an illness, and since neither of his sons are virtuous men worthy of inheriting his lands, he frees the Roman man and wills his lands to him. Maybe in the same book or maybe in part 2 idk the Romans conquer Gaul and the former slave joins Vercingetorix’s revolt, and is killed when Caesar puts it down.
