I just finished writing my first twiner story with Twiner 1 and I have no clue how to copy them.
I'm using a Macbook Pro.
Does anyone know how I'm supposed to make copies of both my workspace file, and the html story file itself, and put them in a zip file together?
I need to know how to do this so I can send them to a publisher.
Also the publisher does anonymous readings and says I have to remove all labels from the files and the work. I don't have my name in the files, but the HTML file when I open it it shows my name in the link, because its stored in a folder on my computer. Does anyone have any clue how I could remove my name from it, or does the name not show up when someone else is opening the file on their computer?
I apologize for not being very tech savvy.

I believe you can get winzip for your system at https://winzip.com/mac/en/index.htm
There should be a how to install and use instruction, connected to the download page.
In windows, it is just selecting and choosing from your mouse menu that you want to "zip" it. I am sure it is very similar, although maybe different keys, to do the same for Mac.
It seems more than a little bit odd to me that anyone would ask you to remove all authoritative labels from your story. Personally, I wouldn't. YMMV
Love and Peace
I did this, and it did remove the username file-path in the link, thank you.
I also figured out how to compress my twiner files, at least for Twine 1.4
I recently downloaded Twine 2 and am not exactly sure how its files work since it says it saves them all in my browser, or whatever.
1. The install-able application release: (eg. in your case the file named twine_2.1.1_osx.zip)
This release saves your Story Projects as files in a folder on your hard-drive, the location of this folder can be determined via Twine > Show Library menu items.
warning: That folder is for internal use only, do not save the story HTML files you create via the Publish to File into it!
2. The downloadable web-browser release: (eg. the file named twine_2.1.1.zip)
This release is a local copy of the release available via the Use it online link, it saves your story projects with your web-browser's Local Storage cache.
This is extremely frustrating, because I keep trying to figure out how to save and build it so that my username isn't in the html codes file.
note: I am surprised that they also want a copy of your work-space file (I am assuming you mean the story-project TWS file) because that can be simple recreated by importing the story HTML file (what you are calling your HTML codes file) into the Twine application.
