no, i don't... but if you google, i'm sure you'll find some... just be sure to check them out at preditors & editors, first... as a matter of fact, you can start there, because they list ones that are ok, as well as the ones that are scams...

love and hugs, maia

Depending on what sort of workshop you're looking for, I recently set up a website to teach novices how write but it can also be used to given more advanced writers some ideas and whatnot.

http://workshop.starpol.net/

I'm also on the lookout for contributors for the site so if you're interested ...

What do you mean by workshops. As in they provide writing exercises and advice or actually give you whole, free classes?

There are also some Community Colleges that you might try their Adult Ed Programs Catalog for Creative Writing Workshops. They usually teach Fiction, Memoirs and also almost everything that has to do with writing. I know because I take a class like what I mentioned.
