Would I be the author if I...?

answers1: If the editor corrects mistakes in grammar, punctuation,
subject-verb agreement, and other matters of writing mechanics, you
would remain the author. <br>
<br>
If the editor must rewrite text rather than correct it, the resulting
text is no longer your creation. The two of you might be considered
co-authors. <br>
<br>
If you are considering hiring an editor to rewrite your work to
"inerpret what I am trying to say," you need a contract which
clarifies ownership of the result.
answers2: Hmm. <br>

Am I a painter if I describe an image to an artist and have him
render the image on a canvas? <br>
