Obviously, from the studio’s point of view, they’d almost certainly want to move the characters from this film into the next journey. So it may be that “Speaker for the Dead” is not the sequel now

For the movie, he was paid a flat consultant's fee and the production team is donating to LGBT causes.

The idea is that he's writing new books that would continue the same characters in the movie because the original sequels aren't the best for movie sequels and are set in different times with new characters. They're also depressing. If the current movie does really well, it's likely they'd option these new books he's working on for future movies.
