Well, it's hard to say exactly because much of the Book of Mormon was abridged by Mormon and Moroni and they did not list the original authors.
The only part of the Book of Mormon not written by Nephites is the Book of Ether, which was abridged by Ether, a Jaredite, then translated by Mosiah and abridged again by Moroni, both Nephites.
Here's a breakdown of the Nephites who we know wrote in the Book of Mormon and whether or not we read their direct words or if it is an abridgement by Mormon or Moroni:
Abinadom - Direct writings in Omni 1:10-11
Alma the Elder - Wrote the teachings of Abinadi in Mosiah 12-17, King Limhi in Mosiah 18-22, his own writing in Mosiah 23 and 24. All abridged by Mormon.
Alma the Younger - Writings abridged by Mormon in the Book of Alma
Amaleki - Direct writings in Omni 1:12-30
Amaron - Direct writings in Omni 1: 4-8
Amos I - Writings abridged by Mormon in 4 Nephi
Amos II - Writings abridged by Mormon in 4 Nephi 1:21-46
Benjamin - Writings abridged by Mormon in Book of Mosiah
Chemish - Direct writings in Omni 1:9
Enos - Direct writings in the Book of Enos
Helaman I - Writings abridged by Mormon in Alma Chapters 31 - 63
Helaman II - Writings abridged by Mormon in first part of Book of Helaman
Jacob - Direct writings in the Book of Jacob
Jarom - Direct writings in the Book of Jarom
Mormon - Direct writing in Words of Mormon and Book of Mormon. Abridged Mosiah, Alma, Helaman, 3 and 4 Nephi
Moroni - Direct writing in Book of Moroni, abridged Ether.
Mosiah - Writings abridged by Mormon in Mosiah
Nephi (son of Lehi) - Direct writings in 1 and 2 Nephi (also quotes Lehi, Isaiah, and other prophets)
Nephi (son of Helaman) - Writings abridged by Mormon in the later part of Book of Helaman
Nephi (grandson of Helaman) - Writings abridged by Mormon in 3 Nephi
Omni - Direct writings in Omni 1:1-3
Shiblon - Writings abridged by Mormon in Alma 31 - 38
Zeniff - Writings abridged by Mormon in Mosiah 9-11
So, we have the direct writings of 11 Nephites and the abridged writings of 12 more Nephites. That's 23 Nephites (that we know of) that wrote the Book of Mormon.

What is a Morman nephite?
The Book of Mormon centers around two groups of people, the Nephites and the Lamanites. These groups descended from the sons of Lehi, an ancient prophet who traveled from Jerusalem to the Americas in about 600 BC. The Lamanites are generally wicked, while the Nephites are generally righteous. The Nephites followed the Law of Moses and had prophets which wrote what is now the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon describes Jesus Christ visiting the Nephites shortly after His Ascension. A few hundred years later, the Nephites became prideful and were completely wiped out by the Lamanites in battle. Check out the "Related Links" to learn more about Nephites.

Who was rev Solomon Spalding born 1771 died in 1809 and how is he related to the book of Mormon?
Solomon Spalding wrote a document now called the "Spalding Manuscript". Critics claim that Joseph Smith did not actually translate ancient plates into the Book of Mormon, but rather wrote the Book of Mormon himself and based it on the Spalding Manuscript. This claim is largely denied by scholars, both Mormon and non-Mormon, because of the testimonies of several people who saw or handled the ancient plates, and because modern writing evaluation technology has concluded that the Book of Mormon could not have been written by a single man (especially one with next to no literary edcuation, as Joseph Smith had).
