Children Were Worth It!)", non-album track released in February 2008 as a download from his website "How to be an Accordion Player" - instructional booklet (2006) "Come All Ye Bold Canadians (Song of the War of 1812)", released on Henry Adam Svec's 2011 recording project Folk Songs of Canada Now Books In 2013, Berner released his first novel, Festival Man, with Dundurn Press. In 2017, Berner released the novel The Fiddler is a Good Woman, also with Dundurn Press. It was well-received, with Foreword Reviews writing, "The language blends the profane and poetic … Melodic and chaotic, with a wide range of voices, The Fiddler is a Good Woman creates an artist of complex character, unapologetically flawed and almost too real to be fictional." Television Berner wrote over a dozen sketches for Sesame Park, the CBC version of Sesame Street, including animated short "Doug the Monster" and "Alison's Magic Kettle" in 1993, the first televised children's program in the world to overtly depict same-sex couples raising children. Berner also wrote several episodes during the third and fourth seasons of the long-running animated series Ed, Edd n Eddy.
