She uses her initials because:
1) The book is about boys and the publishers thought that people wouldn't read it if they knew she was a girl.
2) And she was only 16 and the publishers thought people wouldn't read the book if they knew it was written by someone so young.
3) When S.E. Hinton was in high school, they called one another by their last name.

By using her initials, she hoped to have her work judged solely on its merit rather than being dismissed based on her gender.
