Yes, I met him through a friend who has a three-book deal with him. We talked with him many times throughout the conference. Very nice. Very personable. I would be honored. Thanks for all your help! IF I get a book deal with him, I will definitely let the agents, who I queried, know.
Ohhhhhhh! Sorry, I saw editor and my brain replaced it with agent. Disregard! If you get an offer from a *publisher* yes also tell the agents reading. You can wing it on your own but that’s up to you. Do you want to be pub’d by this publisher? Remember it’s not any port in a storm.
What if...what if you met an editor at a conference, sent your manuscript, and you get an email back saying he loves it. Loves your story, loves your character, and thinks others will, too. He gives you pointers on how to make the ending more Ah-ha! and asks if you would like to revise. Then what if he asks if you would like him to show your manuscript to his colleagues, or would you like to revise it first?
IF he comes back with an offer, should you email agents you've queried and let them know? Or, should you wing it on your own?
I'm kinda confused by why he would offer to share it with his colleagues before you revise, but this just might be a kindness to you--maybe you'll match with someone who doesn't want the revisions? But either way, the answer is Yes you should let any agent still reading your work if you have an offer of representation, in any situation. But you have to have the actual, real, direct offer not a "I'll let you know after you do these revisions." An offer is not an offer until it's an offer.

Thank you. He is an author/illustrator, himself, and an editor at a publisher. So maybe he is kind to another writer?
