Copyright, not copywrite.
The author of any written work owns the copyright. When this work is published, the contract usually stipulates what rights are being sold. This may include handing over all rights in perpetuity, or it may be restricted in various ways.

The author owns the copyright unless he signed it over to you or someone else.

This should be stated in the contract. If it isn't, the author does.
