There are twenty-one epistles or letters in the New Testament, including Hebrews. Of these, thirteen were attributed to St. Paul. In fact, even Hebrews was at one stage also attributed to Paul. On this basis, most of the epistles were clearly written by Paul.
However, Father. Raymond E. Brown, a member of the Vatican's Roman Pontifical Biblical Commission, has expressed his belief that critical scholars have reached a near consensus that only seven epistles are really from Paul: 1 Thessalonians, Galatians, 1 & 2 Corinthians, Philippians, Philemon and Romans.
A.Q. Morton goes further, having carried out a computer analysis of the epistles attributed to Paul, and found that only Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians and Philemon contain exactly the same writing style as Galatians.
Paul wrote more epistles than any other New Testament author, although less than a majority of the epistles in the New Testament.

The Apostle John follow with 5 letters, Luke wrote 2, Peter wrote 2, Mathew, Mark, James, and Jude wrote 1 each, and The Book of Hebrews is still in debate as to who may have written it. That adds up to 27 New Testament Books.
