Workbench [LINK] is a great way to do this if you are OK with installing another module. Workbench allows you to add moderation states.

Content-creator creates the content and forwards it to needs-review , now the publishers gets the access to the content in the needs-review tab. And the moderation should be done between these two users. Here, my issue is when the content-creator creates a content - he is unable to see his content in his profile (I mean either in ' MyContent ', ' MyDrafts ' and ' Needs review '). And the same case with the other user (p
