Okay, "author" might be a bit of a stretch. But as of November 17, 2011, I have an official publication listed on the Humboldt University in Berlin's website. It's a review of two books, Youth at War and Schreiben im Krieg, Schreiben vom Krieg ("Writings in War, Writings from War") commissioned by one of my professors at the University of Tübingen.
The books deal primarily with primary source interpretation from the First and Second World Wars, so the material in them was helpful for my Fulbright research project. Writing the review was a challenging experience but ultimately very rewarding. I learned a lot about academic culture and of course quite a bit about my own field of Modern European History. The number of edits and rewrites was humbling, but once I got it "just right," the feeling was incredible!
If you'd like to read the review (don't worry--it's in English), here's the link: http://hsozkult.geschichte.hu-berlin.de/rezensionen/2011-4-120.pdf
