Basically no one knows. Different people have different theories.
Many people believe Moses wrote the first five books of the Old Testament.
David wrote some psalms and compiled others.
Many prophets have their names attached to books. Probably scribes wrote down the words of the prophet.
In the Apocrypha, considered scripture by Roman Catholics and Greek Orthodox, the book of Second Ezras, Ezra tells his story. He lived somewhere in Israel or Judah. The Assyrians took him to Babylon. The Jews of Babylon begged him to create a unified story of their traditions in the land of Israel. He then took a large variety of source material and combined it into a unified story. (We no longer have that source material such as The Book of the Wars of Jehovah.)
Second Ezras would only have compiled Genesis through most of Second Kings. Some material in Leviticus would have been added later.
