Here's a challenge: a modern retelling of Wuthering Heights. Is it even possible?
Melodie Edwards
Hm..... well you're right, it would certainly be a huge challenge, but I think anything's possible with classics like Wuthering Heights. They're so rich and complex in their characters, plot points and themes, that if you need to discard something that doesn't fit with modern times, there's some other element you can focus on instead. (Like maybe we would ditch that whole 'digging up Catherine's grave' debacle, and add some other gothic/ghostly element. What if he steals the urn with her ashes instead, and secretly keeps the ashes in a locket, when the family was planning to sprinkle her ashes in a meadow?)

Most cliche, but would you be open to write a pride & prejudice retelling?
