[Agency] The Gotham Group

I know, I know - I'm showing my ignorance here, but that's what AW is for, right? Somebody from Gotham Group approached us about a book/film deal about our journey and we are certainly interested in exploring both options.

But - what are they? They aren't a literary agency. They aren't producers. What do they do?

Can you translate into idiot terms? What do they do? Why would they talk with us?

Thanks! That helps! We have a call scheduled for tomorrow - will see how it goes.

I talked with the person from Gotham Group yesterday and was quite impressed - seems as though he really knows what he's doing. He was very excited about our journey and seemed to think it would make a great book and movie. We will talk again next week after we get back up to the USA.

But here's my question: I want to write a book about our journey. The Gotham Group is mostly movies with a few books. They do place books and it seems they've done quite a few, but they are mostly interested in movies. The guy said they currently have one story that will be both book and movie released at the same time.

So - should I be concerned with that? If they wanted to do a movie and skip the book, would that ruin my chances for getting a book deal elsewhere?
