I'm not a hundred-percent sure if this belongs here or one of the broader sub-sections of the forum, but I'm going to take a stab here first.
One of my short stories made honorable mention in Writers of the Future, but I'm not entirely sure if that's something I can put down as a cred in my cover letter bio. Is it a cred? Or would the story have to have won in order to qualify? Or is it a cred that belongs with the story's cover letter but not on my general submissions cover letter ("such-and-such story made honorable mention yada yada")? Said story is also a spin-off of my novel, so do I mention this with the novel or does it not matter?
I just don't want to seem like I'm over-blowing something as a cred when it's little more than a footnote.
Adding to this, I guess, I've won with WoTF on the Illustrator's side, was published by them, the whole thing, but I don't know if I can mention that one either. Is it a valid credit for a cover letter bio? Does it just make me look even more like a dabbling fake? (Oh, an artist who thinks they can write, ho-hum, insta-reject)
*sigh* I suck at talking about myself.
