Hinton, whose full name is Susan Eloise Hinton, published the novel under her initials at the advice of her publisher so that reviewers would not be deterred from picking up the book if they knew it was by a female author. Hinton kept the partial pseudonym for her later works as it allowed her to better differentiate between her public and personal personas.
