Television

Much of Vernoff's work has been in the medium of television, as a script (or teleplay) writer.

She has worked on a number of American television shows, including:
* The program "Charmed", from 2000 to 2004. She began as a story editor and became a co-producer of the show.
* The short-lived, critically acclaimed Fox program "Wonderfalls", which aired in 2004. Vernoff was a writer and producer for the show.
* Vernoff has also written one episode for long-running drama "Law & Order" - (season 10, episode 14, "Sundown").

Grey's Anatomy

Vernoff is currently a member of the creative team at the popular drama "Grey's Anatomy". She is credited as an executive producer, and has also written several episodes of the show. An episode Vernoff wrote, "Into You Like a Train", was nominated for a Best Writing Emmy Award.

Vernoff is credited with the introduction of the catchphrase, "seriously" into the dialogue of "Grey's Anatomy" episodes. Series creator Shonda Rhimes says that Vernoff used it frequently in the writer's room, and "said correctly, it can convey sarcasm, dismay, disbelief, a sense of moral and ethical superiority, and gentle chastising punishment, all at once."cite web

According to Vernoff on the "Grey's Anatomy" iTunes Podcast, the episodes "Six Days Pt. 1 and 2" were written as a dedication to Vernoff's father, Bob Verne, who died in much the same way as Dr. George O'Malley's father in the series.

In May 2007, ABC announced that Vernoff would become showrunner and head writer of "Grey's Anatomy" effective fall 2007 due to creator, Shonda Rhimes having added responsibilities with the rise of her new show, "Private Practice".
