I want other writers to submit content but before its published I need to approve the content. Also, writers should not be able to edit or delete their work. Can this be done?

Just set the default status to something other than “open”. You can set this at:
CP Home › Admin › Weblog Administration › Weblog Management › Edit Weblog Preferences › Administrative PreferencesWhen you approve an entry, just change the status to open.
writers should not be able to edit or delete their work.
This can be set via the member group settings. Set up a member group for your writers and in:
CP Home › Admin › Members and Groups › Member Groups › Edit Member Group › Weblog Posting Preferencesyou can set what members of that group can/cannot do in terms of editing/deleting.
