Every year the Falmouth English and Creative Writing course host a new writer-in-residence, and this year we have writer and film critic Xan Brooks.

Xan brooks biography of barack

After starting his career writing for the Big Issue, Xan worked his way up to become a film critic with the Guardian. After a number of years, he left to write his acclaimed debut novel, The Clocks in this House All Tell Different Times.

As well as being our writer-in-residence, Xan is also working with Falmouth University and the National Trust to produce a short story based on the Penrose heritage site on the Cornish coast.

A place linked with Arthurian mythology and Cornwall’s own Faustian legend, Xan’s story is sure to be a fascinating read.

Following an interesting and insightful talk in The Lighthouse, we got the opportunity to sit down with Xan and learn about in detail the ins-and-outs of his career, why he thinks place in fiction is underrated, and his top tips for writers.
