Query, Synopsis, etc

Finished draft #2,  then #3 and have read my manuscript over and over till my eyes went buggy. lol.
Now, I'm moving on to writing the query letter and synopsis. 

I have a list of agents who accept all forms of middle grade books and their submission requirements.
Some of them require a cover letter and I will work on that after the query and synopsis are done.

I, also, wonder if it's necessary to include examples of other books that my manuscript "might" be like.
It's a fantasy and of course, has magic.  I'm not sure, though. I don't think it would be a good idea to say that my mg fantasy book is all about a twelve year old boy, magic, witches, etc......just like a bestseller we all know and love. I doubt agents want to hear that. 

I'll have to research that part of the query letter more.

So tired. Getting up between 3 & 4 and writing til

Have a great night! :)
