The Book of Hosea, in verse 1:1, states that it was written by Hosea, son of Beeri, in the days of the kings Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah of Judah. The wording is reminiscent of the corresponding signature of the Book of Isaiah, suggesting that one of the authors was influenced by the other, or that the signature verse was added long after the book was written.
Michaela Davey ('Mastering Theology') suggests that the Book of Hosea was written before the time of King Josiah, because it mentions the flight from Egypt, but not Moses, as well as mentioning the shrines of Isaac and the people of Isaac, but not Abraham.
Thus we can not really be sure whether Hosea wrote the book, or some other, unknown author.
