After completion of her book, Cody was encouraged by Mason Novick to write her first screenplay. Within months she wrote "Juno", a coming-of-age story about a teenager's unplanned pregnancy. The Jason Reitman-directed comedy stars Ellen Page and Michael Cera.

While still stripping, Cody began writing for "City Pages", an alternative Twin Cities weekly newspaper. She left "City Pages" just before it changed editorial hands, and has since written for the now-defunct "Jane" magazine. In December 2007, Cody began writing a column for the magazine "Entertainment Weekly".
