Sign up for Jessica Zafra’s Writing Boot Camp, which happens over three Saturdays in August (7, 14, and 21) from 3-6pm on Zoom. For inquiries please email saffron.safin@gmail.com, or send us a message here or @jessicazafrascats on Instagram to book your place. Avail of the Early Bird Rate (50% off) if you enroll by July 23.
Participants must be aged 21 and above. No writing experience necessary. People have cried at Writing Boot Camp, but it was because the writing dredged up something inside them and they got emotional, so it was good.
If you’re in the Eastern Standard Time zone (US East Coast, Canada, South America) and would like to join Writing Boot Camp, a separate workshop series is being organized for your area. Please email saffron.safin@gmail.com for details.
“I signed up for Jessica Zafra’s Writing Boot Camp thinking I would discover how to write like her. I still cannot write like her, but I discovered something better: how to write like myself and not give a shit whether anyone else likes my writing.”
– Lord Fernandez, IT professional and mindfulness coach
“I hadn’t written anything in a long time. Then I joined Jessica Zafra’s Writing Boot Camp and now I can’t seem to shut up! As a bonus, the workshop has provided me with a built-in audience who have no choice but to listen to my attempts at stand-up comedy.”
– Will Liangco, physician
“One of the most memorable lessons I learned from Jessica Zafra’s Writing Boot Camp is to avoid trying to write like another person—a habit I’ve long been guilty of. She taught me to embrace my own writing style and process, and not to think too much about the reader if I want the experience to be enjoyable.”
– Johanna Añes, teacher and writer
“Jessica Zafra exterminates writing insecurities. Her workshops are my new pandemic addiction.”
– Dawn Atienza, gallerist
“Jessica Zafra’s classes are called boot camps because they’re brief, fast-paced, and straight to the point. She conducts all her classes promptly and without any fluff. She shares her years of writing and publishing experience generously, and gives you honest, practical feedback about your work. Which is to say, she won’t hesitate to call you out if you’re going off the rails. I don’t usually get my writing out for critique, so I simultaneously crave and fear her opinion. 11/10.”
– Reese Lansangan, singer-songwriter
