Village Authors

Gates Mills is home to more than a few published authors.  What began as a small collection of local authors’ works continues to steadily grow.  The publication dates span decades, and the GMHS is interested in assembling a comprehensive collection of the written word by Gates Mills residents for our library.

Villagers interested in donating copies of books written by fellow residents should please e-mail us.
