Early life
Noxon was born in Los Angeles, California, to National Geographic documentary filmmaker father, Nicolas Noxon, and Mary Straley. Noxon has said that she grew up in Santa Monica, California, and that her mother was gay. She has a brother, Christopher Noxon, who is a writer and is married to TV writer Jenji Kohan. Her grandmother was painter Betty Lane. Noxon would often accompany her father when he traveled to shoot documentary films and was already in love with the idea of movies.
Noxon graduated from Oakes College at the University of California, Santa Cruz in 1987 with a B.A. in Theater Arts.
Personal life
Noxon met her now ex-husband Jeff Bynum while they were both working on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She has two children.
Noxon said that her show, Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce, is not about her divorce, but is about divorce.
One of her hobbies is baking. As part of that interest, she opened a flour mill in Pasadena, California, called Grist & Toll that supplies local restaurants with ground flour for baking.
Career
Initially, Noxon wanted to be an actress because it looked glamorous, but after trying for a while, she discovered that it wasn't what she wanted to do. She said she had always been told that writing was her forte, and so she concentrated on that.
When working as a waitress and eventually became his assistant, she met producer Rick Rosenthal. Barbara Hall's assistant became Barbara Hall's assistant during her time as a television writer. Noxon said that Hall was a good mentor in what is an informal mentorship that writers often find. Noxon had written a senior thesis paper that was required for her college degree but then forgot about it for four years. She reconnected with the information and showed it to a designer, who then tried to get it made. It was the start of her writing career. That said, she sold something early on (that was never made), and then it took seven years of writing on her own to develop her writing skills before she got to Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Despite the fact that the log line was all about the log line, which was also a success for writers like Joss Whedon, Noxon had to go through a process where she discarded the template and discovered that all of the writing she had been doing was in a vacuum, so Noxon began writing plays and urging actors to speak out about her characters as a way to get feedback and become more fluent in writing. It was about voice, not theory, for her.
Noxon's agent recommended that she attend meetings and get to know the characters after they were released in Buffy the Vampire Slayer's first season. Noxon was skeptical because she wasn't sold on the concept, and she knew the original film hadn't turned out well. She loved the show after watching the first episodes, but she was already booked to appear on The Pretender, which was also on television, so it seemed to be a more safe bet.
Noxon appeared on Buffy the Vampire Slayer's writing staff in 1997 for its second season. She wrote or co-wrote 22 episodes of the series during her time as an actress, half of which were written or co-wrote 22, half of which were during her first two years on the program. Noxon characterized Buffy as enthralled, since the show creators were allowed to function without interruptions. The writing was lightning fast, with deadlines ranging from 3 weeks to maybe four days.
Noxon made his debut in 1998 as a co-producer of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Noxon, a Buffy spin-off actress, was promoted by series creator Joss Whedon to supervising producer for its fourth season, which gave her increasing responsibility for Buffy. Noxon cast Amber Benson as Tara Maclay during this season.
Noxon co-produced the show from 2005 to 2001, as well as its original two episodes ("Into the Woods") and "Forever"). Fan reaction at the conclusion of the 6th season of Buffy were mixed, with some reporting Whedon for abandoning creative control and Noxon's stewardship.In response, Whedon said:
Noxon served as executive producer of Buffy from 2001 to 2003, including its sixth and seventh seasons.
Still Life for Fox, Noxon's 2004 pilot about a family's struggle from the death of their son, a police officer, was created and produced in a pilot. Despite being rushed to series, the show has never been broadcast in the United States, as FOX cancelled the show after seven episodes were cancelled due to the subject matter.
Noxon co-created Point Pleasant, a supernatural drama starring John McLaughlin, in January 2005. Despite a small following, viewership decreased sharply, and only 11 of the 13 filmed episodes were broadcast on Fox. Noxon left Prison Break, where she had been a consulting engineer, halfway through its first season in 2005. She said she wasn't familiarizing with the subject and the writer's room's vision.
Noxon was the showrunner of ABC's Brothers & Sisters in April 2006. She left the program four months after. The press cited creative differences with creator Jon Baitz, but the latter confessed to differing visions and being new to the art of producing scripted television, and said he was having trouble with the practicalities of being on his first television show. Greg Berlanti, Baitz' companion, jumped in to assist. Noxon became a consultant producer on ABC's Anatomy in September 2006. Noxon co-wrote the third episode of Grey's Anatomy, "Some Kind of Miracle" with series creator Shonda Rhimes in February 2007.
Noxon left Grey's Anatomy to become executive producer and showrunner for Grey's spinoff Private Practice, which she did for one season. Noxon served as the head writer during the first season of Private Practice in late 2007.
Noxon began as a consultant producer on the AMC drama film Mad Men in 2008. Noxon said that working with Matthew Weiner brought her writing to a whole different degree, and that with Weiner's help, she was able to get rid of some unhealthy habits that had lingering after working on various shows for a long time, such as focusing on the show's theme, etc. Noxon's Mad Men was able to re-connect with the intention of writing better and feel more connected to what she was writing about thanks to Weiner's Mad Men's book. Noxon co-wrote a second-season episode of the AMC drama series "The Inheritance" for which she was nominated for the 2009 Writers Guild of America Award for Best Dramatic Series. After being nominated for the second year in a row), she received the WGA Award for Best Drama Series at the February 2010 ceremony.
Noxon joined FOX's Glee's writing staff for its third season in 2011, but not for the fourth season.

Noxon was also working on Bravo's first original scripted TV series Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce when working on UnREAL. Noxon is also one of the executive producers of the CBS medical drama series Code Black, which premiered in the fall of 2015.
With Roger Mills, Noxon co-wrote Just a Little Harmless Sex in 1999.
