Peter Whyte-Venables

Blade Crafted Words

Pursuing excellence in proofreading, copywriting, and life itself, with an unwavering commitment to perfection.

Welcome to Blade Crafted Words

Peter’s past has, as the cliché has it, followed more crazy paving than a career path, from the wet and wild of British Special Forces and central Borneo, where he worked for Cambridge University for a year, to teaching English and proofreading in Warsaw, sharing life with his young son these last 14 years, via the drawing board, which brought him commissions from Phil Collins and HRH Princess Michael of Kent, among many others, and the keyboard, where he now spends most of his time.

A Journey to Excellence

Peter puts grammatical accuracy and correct usage at the heart of his treatment of the English language.

The Art of Words

As a means of communication, language is all we have. It needs to say precisely what it means.

Proofreading Services

In the world of words, proofreading is the one area that requires 100% accuracy, both in terms of grammar and appropriate language. Peter is the proofreader for one of Poland’s most prestigious law firms, and regularly deals with private projects that cover economics, banking, law, science and history. Fiction would be a genre he would welcome to the list.

✓ Thorough Proofreading: All texts, of whatever length, receive three meticulous readings, until perfection is met.

✓ Language Excellence: Compelling and error-free content is Peter’s forte. He polishes text while maintaining your unique voice.

✓ Tailored Services: Whether you need a comprehensive proofread or targeted editing, Peter’s job is to meet your specific requirements and deadlines.

The Artist

Peter is a natural, untrained artist who works with pen and ink (black and white and sepia), lead and coloured pencils, to create images which, like his passion for realism in his writing, accurately captures reality.

The Author

On top of his full-time job as a proofreader, Peter is involved in an overload of writing seven books to add to the four already completed, two of which are the first half of The Aleksander Quartet, a series of thrillers that runs from the Second World War to the present day. Boomslang will bring us into the apocalyptic mid-late 2020s and make it a quintet.

Green Remembered Hills – Travels Through Borneo’s Lost Paradise describes Peter’s overland trek across Borneo, while Girls, God, and Vodka describes life in contemporary Poland, and Blades – The SAS: The British Army’s Cutting Edge, and One for the Road respectively cover an alternative history of the SAS and a 21,000km solo motorcycle ride through 22 European countries.
