If you view the end product as "writing" without any distinction between the different aspects of creating a book, then yes, but then a bad cover would be bad writing as well. Sort of like treating the writer as the captain of the ship...whatever happens on the ship is his responsibility.
But I think there is a difference between failure to have good editing done (by yourself or another), and inability to write well.
