Disclaimer: There is nothing wrong with just using Google Docs or even just your notes app. You do not need fancy software to be a good writer, but it can be helpful for some to improve organization. Pay only if you are willing to, you can cancel at any time.

This is a wonderful list!!

If anyone has questions about Obsidian or yWriter7, I use both!!

Also for certain countries, Barnes and Noble will print your novel as a book even if you are not published. They also have a self-publishing platform too but I don't know much about it.

Also, Lattics is a lot like Obsidian but for pay.

Wanna add that I was using Dabble but cancelled my subscription because I was not actively using it enough for the price. You are able to pause your subscription! For now, I am currently using Google Docs but I am considering Scrivener or Bibisco

I have been using Novlr Free for a year now, feel free to ask me any questions! I love it, for my purposes (poetry and the occasional novel) it is perfect.

Another great on for writing is Ellipsus (link to their webpage: https://ellipsus.com/). It is just a beta now, but it´s working very well for me. Ellipsus is built for collabs, so I guess that could be great for someone, plus they have possibility to upload your writing straight to AO3 (I don´t use AO3 myself but I know that some writers on YWS do). Also it´s overally just...built for writers.
Another great one in Reedsy. If you look a lot at stuff like self-publishing, formatting and stuff like that you probably heard about them. But I also really love their book editor! It has all I need and I write almost everything on Reedsy. Plus, their blog and generators are cheffs kiss. And they have a short-story weekly competition and HUGE archive of writing prompts.
I also had free version of Drabble and I am starting to use Novlr right now, so I can also tell you some things about those two as well.
