Traci J. Macnamara began writing for publication in 2002 when she lived in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and worked at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs as a writing instructor. She pitched an idea about vintage scooter culture to the local Springs Magazine and was then hired to write business reviews and features for the publication. Her first national magazine article, "Couch Surfing Got You Floored?" was published during this timeframe in SG (Surfer Girl). Check out a few select articles archived from this timeframe here:
