The Island Octopus Press publishes and promotes picture books, short stories, coloring books, books about Southwest Florida, and books from Florida artists. Our books and other releases are available in The Island Octopus webstore. Our print-on-demand perfect bound books are also available on Amazon. Thank you for supporting living artists and authors!

The Island Octopus was founded by husband-wife team Matt and Melissa Gindling. Our store offers aquatic art, fun apparel, handcrafted incense, beach gifts, and souvenirs, in addition to our books. Our goal is to bring tropical beauty and whimsical fun to your everyday! We are both passionate about artwork and books, and have experience with book layout and design, as well as self-publishing, graphic design, and book illustration.
