How do I move each marker label in a matplotlib graph?

Below I have a simple script for a graph:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

days = ["Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday"]
values = [10, 15, 30]
labels = ["A", "B", "C"]

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot(days, values, marker = 'o')

for i, txt in enumerate(labels):
    text = ax.annotate(txt, (days[i], values[i]), fontsize=20)

plt.show()

Which creates the following chart: enter image description here

I would like to move over the labels on the data markers (A, B, and C) to the right by N degrees each. How would I accomplish this based on relative position of each marker?

Not sure about degrees but you could use something like this to move the text 10pts to the right and 10pts down.

for i, txt in enumerate(labels):
    text = ax.annotate(txt, (days[i], values[i]), fontsize=20, textcoords="offset points", xytext=(10,-10))
