Back in July I'd excerpted a sample chapter from my book for the purpose of submitting to potential publishers. But the file was 901MB - nearly a GB in size. I'd have to host it on my Google Drive and my potential publisher's submission guidelines stated that I'd have to wait three months for a response.
Wednesday I had the idea to research compression tools to reduce the size of the sample chapter document. In a matter of minutes I worked out how to compress the file without any loss of visible image quality to ONE NINE-HUNDREDTH the size of my original sample!
The new file was tiny and portable so I'd have no difficulty attaching it to an email with my proposal. I'm excited to say that I've just submitted my first proposal!
It's a national publisher created by the gent who founded the largest secular humanism organization in the country, headquartered right in my city and of which I am an active member. Their socially-progressive mission aligns with the central themes of my writing so I'm hopeful that they'll consider printing my work.
