Awards and honorsEdit

Hinton received the inaugural 1988 Margaret A. Edwards AwardTemplate:Efn from the American YA librarians, citing her first four YA novels, which had been published from 1967 to 1979 and adapted as films from 1982 to 1985. The annualTemplate:Efn award recognizes one author of books published in the U.S., and specified works "taken to heart by young adults over a period of years, providing an 'authentic voice that continues to illuminate their experiences and emotions, giving insight into their lives'." The librarians noted that in reading Hinton's novels "a young adult may explore the need for independence and simultaneously the need for loyalty and belonging, the need to care for others, and the need to be cared for by them."<ref name=edwards/>

In 1992, she was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa by the University of Tulsa,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and in 1998 she was inducted into the Oklahoma Writers Hall of Fame at the Oklahoma Center for Poets and Writers of Oklahoma State University–Tulsa.<ref>"HINTON, SUSAN ELOISE (1949– )" Oklahoma Historical Society.</ref>
