The signing with Harry M Miller means they may be able to negotiate lucrative exclusive deals to talk about Kyus' adventure on television and in magazines.
About 9.30am on Tuesday, little Kyus snuck into his grandmother's Lexus 4WD, which was parked in Kennedy Rd.
The boy got behind the steering wheel and knocked the car into neutral.
The car rolled down Kennedy Rd, crossed Lawrence Hargrave Dr, and continued through Slade Park, through a fence and thick scrub, before flying over the edge of a 10m cliff.
Miraculously, Kyus was somehow ejected from the car before it crashed over the edge of the cliff. The shocked little boy was found with a cut on his arm, wondering what had happened.
The tale of Kyus' lucky escape was a hit, with news services around the world picking up the story.
