Diablo Cody, aka Brook Busey, grew up in Lemont, IL. After working a series of unfulfilling agency jobs, she moved to Minneapolis and took up writing, acting as Arts Editor for the local independent weekly and creating a popular blog detailing a brief foray into stripping. Her blog attracted the attention of her manager Mason Novick, who encouraged her to write a book based on her experience. That book, "Candy Girl," was published in 2006. Novick also encouraged her to try her hand at screenwriting, and her first attempt, "Juno," was picked up by Fox Searchlight. It was an immediate hit, and garnered her an Oscar for Best Screenplay in 2008.

Since then, she's written and produced a number of hit films and cult hits, including "Jennifer's Body," "Young Adult," "Tully" and "Lisa Frankenstein," as well as the television series "United States of Tara." She also penned the book for the successful Broadway musical "Jagged Little Pill," based on the music of Alanis Morrisette. She lives in Los Angeles.
