I mean Alice 2.0 could be an Author, but I don't know. All we know is that apprently the Author uses a magic quill and gets tasked by Merlin, so we have no idea where the LoUS book came from and who wrote it as the only Author around was Isaac, unless there are more (as Rumple expressed that making a new quill wouldn't be farfetchedas all you need is enchanted wood). Yeah, the author of the new universe where Ella 2.0 and the others live.

If she actually is also the Mad Hatter, she could be travelling between worlds and recording the tales of these worlds (and maybe she became "mad" because of it, just like Henry at the end of season 6).
