GP- As searcher mentioned, the author of Esther is unknown. However, some evidence can be used to narrow it down to the time of authorship. Esther contains many Persian-loaded words, and the author shows a great deal of accurate knowledge of Persian palaces and customs. The Hebrew is Esther is more similar to that of Chronicles than any other book in the OT. Therefore, the book can most likely be dated around 400-350 BC, during the Persian empire, which also lends itself to the possiblility of the author of Esther being the same original author(s) of Ezra-Nehemiah (which is a different issue).
