Val The Bailey's Women's Fiction Prize Longlist Announcement will be on 10th March.
When we were discussing changes to the group last year, we decided to have a few months dedicated to the newest lists, so the May nominations should be selected from the 2015 list when it is announced.
All the books will have been published in the UK by 31st March, as this is part of the entry rules for the prize, but the publication dates in other countries may be different. I will look them up when we have the list.
In the meantime, if you want to speculate on which books might be on the list, see this thread:
