Mahābhārata author is Vyāsadeva. Author means it is not an imaginary story. It is historical fact.
Lecture on SB 1.4.25 -- Montreal, June 20, 1968:

Devotee (1): Who is the author of Mahābhārata?

Prabhupāda: Mahābhārata author is Vyāsadeva. Author means it is not an imaginary story. It is historical fact. History anyone can write. So if you mean by author that something original, just like at the present moment there are so many authors of some fiction, novel, and fictitious, it is not like that. The historical incidences were there, and it was put forward by Vyāsadeva. In that sense he is author.
