Might be a bit of a simplistic answer, but you probably didn't put in any author.

Very simplistic and too easy as authors where included on all but on a few still say author unknown.

for epub format, calibre looks at the metadata in the opf file and extracts the author from that associated field. if that field is blank (or mis-shaped) then unknown is the value.

what is the file format?

Probably one of the easiest ways is to use the Sigil EPUB editor, which has it's own forum here on MobileRead.
