The MOLP1 and MOLP2 anthologies are on special offer for a limited period at just £5.00 for the pair!

If you’re preparing to enter MOLP3 they’ll make great research material, as well as being brilliant reads in their own right.

The Magic Oxygen Literary Prize is a prestigious international writing competition that seeks literary excellence in short stories and poetry.

It is the only writing contest in the world to plant a tree for every single entry received. Our Word Forest is located in Bore, Kenya and is currently eleven times the size of Wembley Stadium. Additionally, MOLP1 and 2 also funded the construction of an urgently needed classroom at Kundeni Primary School in the same community – click here for recent photos.

Sue Hampton, happy these days to be known as the Bald Green Author, was born in Essex and now lives in Herts with her husband and fellow author, Leslie Tate.

Inspired by her father Paul, who was a poet, she wrote as a child and has never stopped – even through 19 years of teaching as a working mum. Her first book for children, the historical adventure Spirit and Fire, was published in 07 and described by Michael Morpurgo as “enthralling… powerfully written”. It was the first of 25 and counting. Most titles are for children or teens, like the fantasy adventure The Dreamer, but Sue also has three books for adults, including Flashback & Purple and e-book The Biggest Splash, both from Magic Oxygen.

Sue is a prolific writer, in high demand in schools as a visiting author for any age, and an Ambassador for Alopecia UK. You may have seen her lead a team of bareheaded ladies to a £29,000 victory for the charity on BBC Eggheads! Click here for some highlights from that programme.
