As an author, Suzanne Collins has kept out of the limelight, with no social media accounts to her name and rarely any press interviews about her work. Many authors have found that the nature of their job requires them to spend time on social media, making Suzanne's absence more notable than most.

According to her website biography, Suzanne began her career in 1991 writing for Nickelodeon television shows such as Clarissa Explains It All and The Mystery Files of Shelby Woo. She was also the Head Writer for Clifford's Puppy Days, a Scholastic Entertainment animated show. Her first series, Gregor the Overlander or The Underland Chronicles, was inspired by the question, "What if Alice in Wonderland took place in New York City?"

The Hunger Games trilogy, which began in 2012 with The Hunger Games, skyrocketed Suzanne to international acclaim, furthered by the release of the book's prequel, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, in 2020.

In an interview with Scholastic in 2020, Suzanne explained how she decided to write more books set in the world of Panem.

"Here's how it works now. I have two worlds, the Underland (the world of The Underland Chronicles series) and Panem (the world of The Hunger Games). I use both of them to explore elements of just war theory. When I find a related topic that I want to examine, then I look for the place it best fits," Suzanne said.

Fans will have to wait and see what happens next!
