Any sense if applying later will be detrimental?
The main reason to delay: I've started writing relatively recently, and expect I might have more posts I'd showcase in my application by then.

Thinking about it, my guess is we will probably let promising people who applied early know that they are on some kind of waitlist and extend an invite to them if we end up disappointed with the later applications, so if you are flexible, I think that makes early strictly easier. I don't expect the effect to be that large though.
