I'm currently writing a fantasy novel (Self-publishing.), but while my protagonist going to be 18 at the beginning of the story, I'm not entirely sure whether it should be YA or NA. I say this because it's going to span over the course of many years, and there'll definitely be mature content (And lots of swearing, cuz swearing is fun.), but at the same time it's still a coming of age story for my protagonist.

For right now, I'm settling with NA, but my main concern with that is the idea less people will read it. It's especially scary since the odds of a self-published book doing well are... well, slim (Still not worth giving the rights away to a traditional publisher who also takes most of the money while forcing the responsibilities onto you anyway.).

Any thoughts?
