Narrative:

It was a VMC day; and we were requested by ATC to maintain visual separation while departing runway 27R that morning. Departing on an air carrier flight from atl; we encountered moderate to severe wake turbulence. We were climbing through 3000 ft on the novss 1 departure out of atl approximately 3 mi prior to futbl. The captain (PF) deviated right of course for wake turbulence avoidance. After he started to deviate; I contacted atl departure and asked for 10 degrees right of course; which was denied. ATC said they could give us 10 degrees left of course; at which point we were clear of the wake turbulence. Rather than crossing into the wake turbulence again; we rejoined the departure procedure to futbl.
