Well, not sure if it helps, but have a publisher look at it. Or self-publish the novel. I'm beginning to work on a series of short stories to see if that helps get my foot in the door. If all goes well then I'll "re-shop" the poetry & I'll be doing it as a published writer so it'll be more likely to be picked up.
Depends on what you want from your story. Sell it as is, make it longer, create a series, add more stories to create a massive multi-story epic? Or perhaps you don't like the whole publishing thing & would rather share freely.
Alot of possibilities depending on your ultimate goal. If it's the goal you're having trouble with, then just hold onto it until you know what you want.
