The Practice Playbook Podcast with Susan Guthrie

How to Get Published: A Reputation-Building Guide for Legal & DR Pros with Dr. Clare Fowler on Make Money Mediating #537


Listen Later

Susan Guthrie welcomes Dr. Clare Fowler to discuss the many ways that dispute resolution professionals, and professionals of all kinds, can get their ideas out into the world through writing and publishing.

Susan and Clare recently co-presented a popular program for the ABA Dispute Resolution Section on this topic, and they’re continuing that conversation here. Together they break down the options for getting published: from traditional books to articles to blog posts to podcasts, and how each approach can be tailored to both your goals and your audience.

You will also hear about some mindset blocks that often stop professionals from writing in the first place. Whether it’s imposter syndrome, fear of sounding “braggy,” or writer’s block, Clare and Susan offer real-world, relatable ways to overcome those challenges.

If you’ve ever felt unsure about how to take your idea from “I have something to say” to “I want to share this publicly,” this conversation is packed with golden nuggets to help you get started, and keep going.


Remember, your voice is needed. And as Clare reminds us in this episode, the ripple effects of your work go far beyond what you see.

Here’s what else you’ll hear in this episode:

  • Why writing matters more than ever in our field
  • How to choose the right publishing path for your goals
  • Why your work doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful
  • How to use your writing to actually grow your practice and build your reputation.
