Two versions of the cover of Chuck Tingle's book, "Trans Wizard Harriet Porber and the Theater of Love", side by side. They are identical except that one has text in Shavian English script, and the other in Latin English script. The covers depict a beautiful woman with round glasses and a glowing wand in the center foreground. Around and behind her, there's a handsome parasaurolophus, a handsome box of cereal, a dastardly snake, a beautiful knight, and some landscape stuff to indicate it's set in Las Vegas. The sky is all vibrant greens and blues.

I'm transliterating one of Chuck Tingle's books into Shavian.

Decided to take a break halfway through the second chapter to do the cover. There doesn't seem to be a textless version floating around, so please forgive my terrible editing lol.

Mostly I'm going one paragraph at a time, using Dechifro's transliteration tool, reading for errors/stylistic changes, fixing it up, and copying it into the epub.
