Dyer's time-travel pirate novella, "The Company Articles of Edward Teach", won the 2011 Ditmar Award for Best Novella/Novelette and Dyer was awarded Best New Talent. In the same year, short fantasy story "Yowie" won the Aurealis Award in its category. The following year, "Fruit of the Pipal Tree" from Fablecroft anthology "After the Rain" took out the short fantasy category again, and in 2013 a science fiction story about genetically modified metal-eating arthropods, "The Wisdom of Ants," won both an Aurealis Award and a Ditmar. Dyer's collection of four original stories, "Asymmetry," available from Twelfth Planet Press, was called "unsettling, poignant, marvellous" by Nancy Kress. “Wine, Women and Stars,” a short science fiction story originally published in Analog, won the Aurealis Award in 2015, while "Where The Pelican Builds Her Nest" won the short fantasy category in 2017. Ditmar award-winning “Crossroads of Canopy,” a Titan’s Forest novel, was published by Tor Books in January 2017, with "Echoes of Understorey" following in February 2018 and "Tides of the Titans" in January 2019.
