Remember that the High Pitch document is to be used as a sales pitch for your game and should be thought of like giving a CV before going to the interview. A full game treatment is then designed once you have been able to secure a meeting with a Publisher / Investor.
The document should usually be no more than 2 – 4 pages in length and take no more than 10 minutes to read. If the high pitch document is any longer then a producer is less likely to want to read it.
The title and your name should appear at the top of the document followed immediately by the text. Remember that the most important material must appear on the first page.
