Pierce published the science fiction fanzine 'Renaissance' from 1968 through 1974, and was an outspoken critic of the New Wave. In the 1970s he edited 'The Best of Murray Leinster', 'The Best of Cordwainer Smith' and 'The Best of Raymond Z Gallun'. In 1977–78, he was named editor of 'Galaxy' at a time when the magazine was in financial trouble, an experience he later recounted in 'Thirteen Months of Torment'.
He has written critical essays and book introductions on Cordwainer Smith, and essays on Twin Peaks and The X-Files for the fanzines 'Wrapped in Plastic' and 'Spectrum' and has had other articles published in 'The New York Review of Science Fiction and Science Fiction Studies'.
