She has worked on a number of American television shows, including:

[edit] 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 an 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."

[edit] Theater
Vernoff is also a playwright; a production of her play "Me, My Guitar, and Don Henley" will be opening in October 2006 in an off-Broadway theater.[2]
