Novick claims to have found Diablo Cody by reading Cody's blog while she was a blogger living in Minneapolis. He found "her voice [to be] so interesting and so fresh".

As a result of Novick's encouragement, Cody wrote the script which would become Juno.[7]

Novick worked with Cody on Young Adult (2011)[8] and Rock of Ages (2012),[9] as well as an unmade cinematic adaptation of Sweet Valley High.
