In short, Little Magazines are independently-produced magazines with a very small circulation and, usually, a short existence compared with large, commercially published magazines like Vogue or The Atlantic. Historically, the term "Little Magazines" has referred to art and literary publications of the early 20th Century. In the 21st Century, the terms "independent magazine," or indie magazine may be used instead.
