I've been involved in video production since the 70's and have won several different awards for writing/producing. I have no publishing credentials. Should I mention the broadcast awards in my query?

Heck yeah. I mention professional quest design work I've done for video games and while I can't say for sure whether it helps or not, it certainly hasn't seemed to hurt.

That said,

<-- not an agent.

It should relate to your work. Getting a PBS award for a documentary on the mating habits of South American lizards isn't going to mean much when subbing a fictional MS on soldiers in the trenches of WWI.

Don't just toot your horn. It is too easy to spot and marks you as an unprofessional. Give them info that means something.

I believe this very strongly.
