''Watering Heaven'' was longlisted for the Frank O'Connor Int'l Award.〔(''Frank O'Connonr Int'l Award'' )〕 ''Bald New World'' was longlisted for the Folio Prize in 2015 〔(''The Guardian'' )〕〔(''Yahoo'' )〕 and listed by ''Buzzfeed'' as one of 15 Highly Anticipated Books of 2014. Buzzfeed contributor Richard Thomas described it as: "If you took the world building of Philip K. Dick, and added in the gritty reality and humor of Haruki Murakami, with a touch of Aldous Huxley (of course), you would get Bald New World." 〔(''Buzzfeed'' )〕 ''Publishers Weekly'' named ''Bald New World'' as one of the Best Science Fiction Books of Summer 2014 in a starred review: "Gorgeous language choices combine with Nick’s philosophical journey of personal discovery to create a deceptively deep story." 〔(''Publishers Weekly'' )〕 Yahoo, in describing Tieryas's work, stated: "Highlighted by Kollaboration in March as one of three Asian American authors on the rise, Tieryas's debut novel "Bald New World" deals with a global epidemic of follicular proportions... When Baldification hits the planet, the pair find themselves caught up in an sci-fi tinged international conspiracy, turning their penchant for adventure into a series of daring discoveries.〔(''Yahoo'' )〕 David S. Atkinson at ''HTMLGiant'' said: "Dystopia has been done a lot, but no one has done it quite like Peter Tieryas. I’d like to enthusiastically welcome Bald New World to the must-read dystopian canon. Old Aldous would be proud." 〔(''HTMLGiant'' )〕 However, in a mixed review, ''Electric Literature'' pointed out: "As a first novel, there are some growing pains—particularly the shifts in the pacing, and a certain episodic feel to parts of the narrative. Around the middle there’s a shift that might alienate certain readers, where the book suddenly becomes a high-octane romp. The two halves do feel very separate from each other, but the transition is natural (or, to try to avoid spoilers, jarring in the best possible way)." 〔(''Electric Literature'' )〕
Peter Tieryas is also the co-founder and co-editor of Entropy Magazine.〔(''Poetry Foundation'' )〕 He frequently collaborates with his wife, artist Angela Xu.〔(''Tampa Review'' )〕
