Ususally, for a bio, it depends on what you published. Stand alone, your query is going to show what kind writer you are more than anything. This is what I would say for the bio: if your article relates in some way to what you are writing, I would mention it. If it was fiction, or if the awards were for fiction, and you are writing nonfiction, I don't think it would help, and the opposite is true. It also depends on what kind of publisher it was for your article. If it was, like, your village newspaper, it won't look too impressive. I am not sure about the awards, since they go a little ways back, but they won't hurt. Again, what will really show is the writing you exhibit in your query, and your ms, when they will hopefully ask for it, so don't worry too much about past publications. After all, as I have nothing to show, I am not going to mail anything even related to them in :) Kate
