Shortly after graduation, she found a newspaper advertisement for a job as continuity writer at KEX radio and decided to apply.

In this position, she had charge of writing most of the scripts of programming developed for children, which aired in six segments on weekdays with a specific focus for each age targeted school-age group.

She began producing one or two novels a year, a few under the pen-name of Lynn Bronson,[10] and by 1951 resigned from her position as Educational Director at KGW.

[11] She addressed re-education of Native American children, racial tensions, child marriage, changing cultures, and migrant workers with sensitivity and an ability to make the stories interesting.

Lampman was given the Dorothy Canfield Fisher Award in 1962 for her book City Under the Back Steps, a story about two children who shrink down to ant-size and have a sci-fi adventure in the world of ants.
