At the age of 24, Pratt became the founding editor of Sassy, a magazine for teenage girls. Under Pratt, the magazine experienced rapid circulation growth. The magazine's hipness factor increased dramatically when it issued a limited-edition Sonic Youth flexi-disc (a cover of the New York Dolls "Personality Crisis") and it became known that band members Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon were in fact fans of the teen magazine. The magazine's affinity for Indie Rock led to the formation of the band Chia Pet, which counted Sassy editor Christina Kelly and Jane Pratt as members. Concurrent with the nascent west-coast Riot Grrrl movement, Chia Pet released "Blind Date" on the Kokopop label in 1992 which won simultaneous Single of the Week honors in both the NME and Melody Maker UK music weeklies. The success of Sassy led Pratt to host two talk shows, on FOX and LIFETIME, neither of which were successful. Pratt was also a frequent contributor to VH-1 and EXTRA, where she was featured interviewing such personalities as Madonna, Michael Jackson, Michael Stipe of REM, and Drew Barrymore. Pratt is the author of two books, For Real: The Uncensored Truth About America's Teenagers (Hyperion, September 1995) and BEYOND BEAUTY: Girls Speak Out on Looks, Style and Stereotypes, which is published by Callaway Editions in association with Clarkson Potter.
