About

My name is Mike Garner

This is my baby. It’s here to give you witty observations and some practical advice on how to deal with some of your fears (and let’s face it, my fears as well) over running your businesses online or elsewhere and also how to get your communication and right.

I’ll help you improve your voice and with it your exposure. The aim is to provide you with sufficient ammo to give yourself a real personality

The biography part

I’ve worked in translation and writing for about 15 years. I’ve covered a lot in that time. I’ve worked for major corporates like Orange, France Telecom and Michelin and small start ups, too many to mention.

Previously, I worked in travel and business information before that, I was a dogsbody in a market research company and I had paper rounds and milk rounds in the 1970s. I lived in France for 20 years and went native. I gained a love for French cinema , steak tartare and the Breton coastline from the experience.

I’m originally a London boy, but through a long sequence of events I came to rest in Somerset.

I plan to move on again next year, even further west, to Devon.

I have a unhealthy interest in seventeenth-century millenarians and experimental, leftfield music.

I make a mean onion tart (that used to surprise the French!).

I’ve also got a degree in History and French.
