Sorry for the ridiculously long thread title.
I recently participated in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Awards, and made it to the quarter finals. Even though I didn't win, I got a pretty positive review from the Publisher's Weekly rep. who looked over my book.
Now I'm getting back to sending out queries. Should I mention the contest (or the review) in my letter, or would that be pointless and tacky?
