Ian and Derek met in the year 2013 during their time in a corporate job. Over the years, they discovered each other's passions for all things video games, reading, and Dungeons & Dragons.​​​​

 

More Than Tickets, a writing group they kicked off together, began honing their skills and storytelling. Now, here at Dueling Quills Media, they aim to bring their stories and characters to life through fantastical adventures.

 

​​It wasn't until the summer of 2024 that these two friends embarked on a writing journey that would tie them together for the foreseeable future.​
