Maxim Lee

I’ve spent over 9 years in journalism and editing, working across entertainment, lifestyle, and culture desks before joining Culture Up. I hold a degree in Journalism and Mass Communication, and earlier in my career I edited for regional news outlets and digital lifestyle publications.

Here, I oversee our editorial process from first draft to final publication, fact-checking claims, tightening research, and making sure every piece meets the same standard, no matter which beat it comes from. I’m especially drawn to stories where pop culture meets everyday life, and I believe good editing means protecting a writer’s voice while making sure the facts hold up.
