Featured Interview With Derek Beck
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I live and write in Scotland. I care about simple paper systems that help people plan, act, and reflect without app overwhelm. No pets currently — just notebooks and pens.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I have always been drawn to practical nonfiction and notebooks. I started writing seriously when I wanted a clearer weekly planning method than apps offered, which became The Square Method.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I read a mix of productivity and reflective nonfiction — writers who keep systems simple and human. Clarity and practicality inspire the tone I aim for.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
