Hi, I'm from Ireland, a native English speaker and living in Thailand. (I prefer a fixed fee rate instead of the hourly rate - please send me a message so we can chat about it.) My passion for English language, in particular proofreading, editing, copywriting, and researching, started at a BBC radio station in England where I worked. Later, I was a teacher of English as a Foreign Language in Thai government primary and high schools, creating lesson plans, researching, writing stories, correcting essays, and creating games. I also taught adults, and I have an advanced understanding of grammar. I've also worked part-time as a proofreader for a monthly magazine. People instantly notice mistakes in written documents, and it can even affect your reputation as a business. Save your inspiration for the writing, and let me help make it outstanding. I approach developmental editing, copyediting, and proofreading with absolute precision, a refined (human) judgment, and a human perspective. I also work with your readers’ perspectives in mind. I will work to the level your project requires. Of course I will take care of all your commas, exclamations, etc., and make sure your writing makes sense. I will edit all sentences for clarity. I can follow the Chicago Manual of Style and APA, or your own in-house style, including formatting your citations in either CMS or APA. I will verify sources and find any missing info with reliable reference research. I’m not a lover of AI, but if you’ve used it to create your book, I can help “clean” it up. You know, delete the duplications, fix the bad grammar and boringness of many sentences, etc., and give your manuscript your voice instead of the boring AI voice. Services I offer That AI Cannot • I will check all sources are credible, use judgment, and research anything with up-to-date and exhaustive, relevant info. • I can distinguish between fake news, mistakes, unfounded opinions, duplication, and sense. • I will double-check something that just doesn’t look right. Go on, send me your invitations to interview–I’m available! And happy to take your questions too. You will get: * a high-quality document free of grammatical and spelling errors * a complete record of all alterations made, ready for you to accept or reject * suggestions for enhancing words or phrases to suit your readers * suggestions for enhancing your document flow However small or large, I'm happy to help make your project flawless. Past projects: fiction and nonfiction books articles legal documents lifestyle magazine written copy, cues, and questions for radio essays websites staff guidelines short stories city guide

Most videos lose viewers in the edit. Not because they need more effects, but because the hook is weak, the pacing is slow, or the message is not built around the right audience. Before editing, I understand: • Who your target audience is • What keeps them watching • What message they should remember • What action you want them to take • How your content supports your business Then I shape the structure, pacing, B-roll, captions, sound design, and visual flow around those goals. If I notice repetition, a weak opening, a confusing section, or a potential drop-off point, I’ll suggest a stronger solution instead of simply polishing the footage. You also won’t have to worry about missed deadlines, unanswered messages, or your editor disappearing during the project. I communicate clearly, provide updates, respond to feedback, and deliver on time. I can create a unique and recognizable editing style for your brand using custom graphics, captions, transitions, sound design, pacing, and visual elements. Your videos will feel consistent without looking like a copy of another creator. I can help you with: • YouTube long-form videos • Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts • Talking-head and personal-brand content • Podcasts and interviews • Motion graphics and animated captions • Audio cleanup and sound design • Color correction and grading • B-roll and visual effects • Repurposing long-form content into short videos I can work with references such as Alex Hormozi, Iman Gadzhi, Ali Abdaal, and MagnatesMedia, while building a style specifically for your audience and brand. What clients say: “Maxim is an amazing video editor! Very creative and he delivers fast! Would recommend 10/10!” “Maxim Zenkov is an excellent video editor. He met all the timelines and completed every requested change without delay. We are very happy with the project delivery and look forward to working with him again.” Software: • Adobe Premiere Pro • Adobe After Effects • Adobe Audition You get a reliable creative partner who understands your audience, improves the content where needed, and delivers consistently.

Most videos fail for one simple reason: they don’t tell a story. Anyone can cut clips together, add transitions, and throw in some animations. But a great video needs structure, pacing, and narrative flow that keeps viewers watching from beginning to end. That’s where I come in. I specialize in editing educational, documentary-style, and YouTube content where storytelling and engagement matter. My goal is always the same: take raw footage and shape it into something that communicates clearly, feels dynamic, and keeps the audience interested. What I can help you with • YouTube videos (long-form and educational channels) • Talking-head videos with engaging B-roll • Lecture and course editing • Educational and knowledge-based content • Documentary-style storytelling edits • Text overlays and visual support for explanations • Sourcing copyright-safe footage and images My editing style Clean, engaging, and narrative-driven. No unnecessary gimmicks — just edits that serve the story and the message. Why clients like working with me • Clear and reliable communication • Strong storytelling instincts • Fast turnaround and professional workflow • Experience shaping complex material into engaging content Background I’m a British video editor based in Thailand and also work as a University Lecturer in Music (Jazz Studies). My academic background includes a PhD in Music and Neuroscience, which has given me extensive experience working with educational and lecture-based media. Because of this, I’m particularly good at editing informational content where clarity, pacing, and audience engagement are essential. If you’re looking for a video editor who can turn raw footage into a clear, engaging story, I’d love to hear about your project. Let’s create something great. — Wayne

I can speak Thai, English (fluent), and German (conversational). 🇹🇭🇬🇧🇩🇪 I graduated with a first-class honours degree in Accounting from the School of Management (English Program) at an international university in Thailand called Mae Fah Luang University, with a GPAX of 3.61. 🦉 During my university life, where all subjects were taught in English, I found out that English is my passion. 💫 I worked as an English tutor for university students during that time. I love participating in many activities to explore my interests. I received two scholarships to visit ASEAN countries (Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos) and also Japan. After that, I knew exactly what my dream was, traveling the world 🌎 (my 30th country is 🇬🇷). After graduation, I worked as an auditor at Deloitte for 2.5 years. I tried my best, but I felt it was not my thing. Later, I quit to pursue my dream of working as a freelancer, and I have been working in the freelancing world using my English, Thai, and management skills for almost 8 years now. 🗽 Currently, I am working as a Thai teacher for foreigners under Learn Thai Like a Local and via italki, LanguaTalk, and Banana Thai School, a well-known Thai learning school.
