YA about moving on from high school! Anything about college admissions, the summer after senior year, freshman year of college (or of life) #mswl
Novels that address religion for MG and YA, because both religion and books for kids and teens are about finding your place in a big world #mswl
Epistolary everything! And anything that plays with format, especially if it feels internetty #mswl
Novels with settings that are unfamiliar to American readers
Novels with characters that are unfamiliar with American settings

Graphic novels in the vein of Smile by creators of color. Scripts are welcome, so are author/illustrators! #mswl
Picture books that address big topics of power and social justice for the youngest kids #mswl
Picture books with great visual storytelling (or texts that leave lots of space for it) #mswl
Middle grade about the spaces where kids get to feel like themselves, like camp, or the treehouse they spent all summer saving up to buy with their friends (ahem) #mswl
Anything about language, whether that's visual (I once saw an internet thing where the animals were made out of Arabic script 🤯) or a plot thing (about an English language learner? About... spelling???? 👀) or a nonfiction thing (hello emojis). #mswl
