I've been trying to find a literary agent, but I've been coming across some terms that are foreign to me. I have a clue on what they mean, but would like to have more clarification.

Terms:

Serious fiction

High quality fiction or quality fiction

Handles all subrights of book (what does that all include typically?)

Full service literary agency (what is full service?)

Handles all subsidiary rights (what does that all include typically?)

Copying/photocopying fees (for what? and how much typically?)

Only accept work from Professional writers (who are professional writers?)

Accept by referral only (what kind of referrals?)

Of course every agent is different in what they do, but I see these terms come up a lot.

Thanks
