The spring 2023 Young Authors' Studio events are supported by a grant from AZ Humanities, to project founder Wendy R. Williams, associate professor of English in the College of Integrative Sciences and Arts, as well as gifts made to Young Authors' Studio through the ASU Foundation.

Additional events in the spring series include a Zoom workshop on  Feb. 11, 2023 at 1 p.m., on writing a novel, led by YA novelist Tom Leveen; and an all-day writing retreat at ASU Polytechnic campus on Feb. 18, 9:30 p.m.–3:30 p.m. The afternoon of the writing retreat coincides with ASU Open Door events at ASU Polytechnic campus and will feature a spoken word poetry workshop and open mic with poet and teaching artist Tomas Stanton.
