Never say never, Ali. I've had novels that I've thought were as good as I could get them and a couple of months later I've looked at them again only to find they were so full of holes I could have used them as a sieve! If you're sick of looking at the novel you've done, start writing another. Even if you did get a contract for the novel you've completed, the publisher would likely want to know what you're working on now ... publishers are like that. They don't want one book wonders. They are looking for writers with whom they can develop a sustainable and growing market - especially in SFF.
Once you've been writing your new novel for a while, then go back and look at the first one for a break. You'll be amazed what you find.
