  Tanner was chosen as the winner of the 2007 Towson University Prize for Literature.He is the chairperson of the writing department at Loyola College.
  
  Following the reading, Tanner answered students' questions and discussed his stories.
  
  He said aspiring writers should decide what kind of writing they enjoy by reading a lot of different genres.
  
  "The first thing is find stuff to read that you really like.It doesn't matter what it is; from Stephen King to Jane Austen," Tanner said.
  
  Tanner said his inspirations and favorite writers include Mark Twain, Kurt Vonnegut and Toni Morrison.

  "If there's a problem that I've encountered, or someone else encountered, writing is a good way to figure it out, to test it out," Tanner said.
  
  He said writing realistic dialogue in fiction requires practice because the way people speak in real life doesn't always translate into fiction dialogue.

  The Marshall Islands Story Project class is one of the outcomes of a National Parks Service grant authored by Ron Tanner, chair of the Writing Department at Loyola College in Maryland. Tanner is spending the spring semester here at CMI to help get the pilot program off the ground. Students who enroll in the class actually signed up for two classes, one of which was the story project class where they will be learning how to both become better story tellers and also collecting stories. The second class is a web publishing class where students will be creating a web site where the stories that they collect will eventually be posted. Sharing Stories During the first part of the class, students are telling stories and sharing them with other students who are training to become writing center tutors at Loyola. The Loyola students are not tutoring the CMI students, Tanner stressed.
