Don’t give up! Keep writing, querying, and submitting, and eventually yours will be picked. Even the most successful of authors have received rejections in their career, but it only takes one "yes"!
If you’re able to, perhaps seek a professional editor’s advice. As an author, I know we tend to be protective of our projects but, as a result, some glaring mistakes often get overlooked. Those mistakes might make the difference between a “no” and a “yes”. In those situations, a set of unbiased eyes on your work might be worth it in the end.
Lastly, write, write, write!
